중금속 오염에 대한 식물복원법(phytoremediation)에 적합한 식물종의 탐색과 확립에 필요한 기초자료를 얻기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 공시 식물은 단풍잎돼지풀, 갓, 소리쟁이, 어저귀와 같은 야생식물을 이용하였다. 이들 종에 중금속으로 카드뮴과 구리를 처리하여 유묘의 출현과 유묘시기의 생육의 변화 및 양액재배를 통해 중금속이 이들 종에 미치는 영향과 축적되는 정도를 알아보았다. 공시종을 모래에 파종 후 중금속을 토양내 위험 수준으로 처리하고 pH를 6.5, 5.5, 4.5 조절하였을 때 pH가 낮아질수록 출현율 및 유묘의 생육은 저하되었으며 카드뮴에 비해 구리의 피해가 좀더 심하였다. 공시종 중 phy-toremediation에 가장 적합한 종은 단풍잎돼지풀이었으며 이종은 중금속에 의한 유묘의 출현과 초기 생육의 영향이 다른 종에 비해 적었으며, 양액 재배에 있어서도 $20{\mu}mol/L$Cd와 $80{\mu}mol/L$ Cu정도의 농도 처리에 의한 피해 정도가 미약하였다. 미국돼지풀은 중금속 축적량이 유묘의 카드뮴 311mg/kg, 구리 369mg/kg 정도가 축적되어 양호한 결과를 나타냈다.

Disposal of waste containing heavy metals into the environment is a major threat to human health and can result in toxic or chronic poisoning in aquatic life. In the current study, metal-resistant Raoultella ornithinolytica was isolated from metal-contaminated samples collected from the Tanjaro River, located southwest of Sulaymaniyah, Iraq. R. ornithinolytica was identified by partial amplification of 16S rRNA. The uptake potency of heavy metals was assessed using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and indicated that R. ornithinolytica removed 67, 89, 63.4, 55.6, 56.5, 65, and 61.9% of Cd, Pb, Cr, Ni, Zn, Co, and Fe, respectively. These removal rates were influenced by temperature, pH, and contact time; at 35℃ and pH 5 with a change in the incubation time, the reduction rate improved from 89 to 95% for Pb, from 36.4 to 45% for Cu, and from 55.6 to 64% for Ni. Gene analysis indicated that R. ornithinolytica contained pbrT, chrB, nccA, iroN, and czcA genes, but the pcoD gene was absent. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) images showed evidence of metal ion binding on the cell wall surface with different rates of binding. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) detected different mechanisms for metal particle localization; cell surface adsorption was the main mechanism for Pb, Zn, and Co uptake, while Cd, Ni, and Fe were accumulated inside the cell. The current study describes, for the first time, the isolation of R. ornithinolytica from metal-contaminated water, which can be used as an eco-friendly biological expedient for the remediation and detoxification of metals from contaminated environments.

Heavy metals at toxic levels have the capability to interact with several vital cellular biomolecules such as nuclear proteins and DNA, leading to oxidative stress in plants. The present study was performed to explore the metal tolerance mechanism in Sorghum seedling. Morpho-physiological and metal ions uptake changes were observed prominently in the seedlings when the plants were subjected to different concentrations of $CuSO_4$ and $CdCl_2$. The observed morphological changes revealed that the plants treated with Cu and Cd displayed dramatically altered shoot lengths, fresh weights, and relative water content. In addition, the concentration of Cu and Cd was markedly increased by treatment with Cu and Cd, and the amount of interacting ions taken up by the shoots and roots was significantly and directly correlated with the applied level of Cu and Cd. Using the 2-DE method, a total of 24 and 21 differentially expressed protein spots from sorghum leaves and roots respectively, 33 protein spots from sorghum leaves under Cd stress were analyzed using MALDI-TOF/TOF MS. However, the over-expression of GAPDH plays a significant role in assisting Sorghum bicolor to attenuate the adverse effects of oxidative stress caused by Cu, and the proteins involved in resistance to stress helped the sorghum plants to tolerate high levels of Cu. Significant changes were absorbed in the levels of proteins known to be involved in carbohydrate metabolism, transcriptional regulation, translation and stress responses. In addition, the up-regulation of glutathione S-transferase and cytochrome P450 may play a significant role in Cd-related toxicity and stress responses. The results obtained from the present study may provide insights into the tolerance mechanism of seedling leaves and roots in Sorghum under heavy metal stress.

The present laboratory investigation was conducted to assess the effect of heavy metals on carbon mineralization. Soil was treated with three concentrations (50, 100 and $150{\mu}mol\;g^{-1}$ soil) of two heavy metals (Cd and Zn) in a factorial combination of treatments replicated four times. Determination of carbon mineralization was carried out at 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42 and 56 days after metal treatments.. The amount of $CO_2$-C released from heavy metal treated soils was found to be decreased at an increasing rate during the first 28 days, followed by slow release as incubation progressed. The total amounts of $CO_2$-C released were 448, 382 and $348mg\;kg^{-1}$ soil respectively for soils treated with 50, 100 and $150{\mu}mol\;g^{-1}$ soil of Zn. The corresponding figures for Cd treated soils were 406, 354 and $282mg\;kg^{-1}$ soil implying that dose-dependent reduction in cumulative $CO_2$-C released from soils. The inhibition of carbon mineralization was found to be high in Cd treated soils than that of Zn treated. Therefore, tolerance and adaptation of the microbial community is likely to be related to the concentration and the type of metal. According to the results, carbon mineralization can be considered as possible indicator of soil pollution by means of heavy metals.

Pseudomonas stutzeri strain KCCM 34719 was used in this experiment to determine the effects of increasing Pb(II) concentrations on its growth rate. To obtain optimum growth conditions, strain KCCM 34719 was cultivated in nutrient broth under various conditions, such as temperature, pH, and NaCl concentration. Optimal conditions for cell growth were $30^{\circ}C$ of temperature, 8.0 of pH, and 3% of NaCl concentration, respectively. Growth response of bacterial cell to Pb(II) showed tolerance to concentrations ranging from 10 to 100 mg ${\ell}^{-1}$ in liquid culture, following a growth pattern similar to the control. Growth rate was greatly inhibited at 200 mg ${\ell}^{-1}$ of Pb(II).

This study was carried out to leach valuable metal ions from the mine waste ore using the adapted indigenous bacteria. In order to tolerance the heavy metals, the indigenous bacteria were repeatedly subcultured in the adaptation-medium containing $CuSO_4{\cdot}5H_2O$ for 3 weeks and 6 weeks, respectively. As the adaptation experiment processed, the pH was rapidly decrease in the adaptation-medium of 6 weeks more than the 3 weeks. The result of bioleaching with the adapted bacteria for 42 days, the pH value of leaching-medium in the 3 weeks tend to increased, whereas the pH of the 6 weeks decreased. In decreasing the pH value in the adaptation-medium and in the leaching-medium, it was identified that the indigenous bacteria were adapted $Cu^{2+}$ the ion and the mine waste ores. The contents of Cu, Fe and Zn in the leaching solution were usually higher leached in 6 weeks than 3 weeks due to the adaptation. Considering the bioleaching rates of Cu, Fe and Zn from these leaching solutions, the highest increasing the efficiency metal ion were found to be Fe. Accordingly, it is expected that the more valuable element ions can be leached out from the any mine waste, if the adapted bacteria with heavy metals will apply in future bioleaching experiments.

폐금속광산 주변에 산재한 광미를 고화제를 이용하여 영구 매립하는 고형화 처리 공정의 타당성을 평가하기 위하여, 경상북도에 위치한 지시, 대량, 어전 금속 폐광산 주변 광미를 대상으로 3 종류의 시멘트 고화제를 이용하여 고화체를 양생하고, 고화체의 압축강도 및 중금속 용출을 측정하여 고화체의 고형화 효율을 규명하였다. 포틀랜드 시멘트와 MSG(micro silica grouting) 계열 시멘트를 고화제로 사용하여 광미와 1:1(w.t.) 혼합하여 양생한 고화체의 압축강도 실험 결과 양생 기간이 14일 인 모든 고화체의 일축압축강도는$1{\sim}2kgf/mm^2$를 나타내어, 현행 폐기물관리법(20 조 관련)에서 규정하고 있는 차단형 매립시설의 내부막의 압축강도 기준인 $0.21kgf/mm^2$ 보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 광미와 혼합하여 성형한 고화체와 순수한 광미를 대상으로 토양공정시험법에서 제시한 약산 추출법으로 중금속 용출을 실시하여 광미와 광미로 성형한 고화체의 중금속 용출 농도 차이를 비교하였다. 고화제와 광미를 1:1(w.t.)로 혼합하여 성형한 고화체의 경우 As와 Pb의 용출농도가 약 $3{\sim}5$배 감소하는 것으로 나타나 약산 추출법에 의한 중금속용출은 고화체 성형 시 뚜렷한 감소 효과가 있었다. 다양한 pH를 갖는 수용액을 이용하여, 광미와 고화제를 혼합하여 양생한 고화체의 시간에 따른 수용액으로의 중금속 용출 농도를 측정하였다. 수용액의 pH가 1과 13인 강산/강염기 용액에서 일부 중금속의 용출 농도가 지하수 생활응수 기준치를 초과하였으나, pH가 $3{\sim}11$인 경우에는 중금속 용출이 급격히 감소하여 모두 지하수 생활용수 기준치 이하를 나타내었다. pH가 1과 13인 수용액의 경우에도 고화체와 반응하는 시간이 증가할수록 고화체의 완충(buffering) 효과에 의해 수용액의 pH가 변화하여 $9{\sim}10$을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는, 현장에서 pH가 1과 13인 수계와 광미로 형성된 고화체가 접촉한다 하여도, 고화체의 완충 효과에 의해 시간이 지남에 따라 접촉수의 pH가 변하여 고화체로부터 지속적인 다량의 중금속 용출이 제한될 수 있음을 의미한다.

We have closely examined the concentration change characteristics, emission amounts, and the material balance of hazardous air pollutants at both early and later stages of the prevention facilities. These results will be uses as the basic data when preparing for the regulatory and management plans for hazardous air pollutants. The results of the study on heavy metals illustrated that the content of heavy metals in sludge across five facilities were as follows: copper> zinc> chrome> nickel> cadmium> mercury. In terms of heavy metal content in swage sludge, the sludge in incinerating facilities other than the sludge in the D incinerating facility containing industrial water waste, was examined in order to satisfy the ocean contamination standard and fertilizer specifications. Most of the items were shown to have satisfied the emission tolerance standards in the latter part of the prevention facilities(The average elimination rate was over 90%). Therefore, it is concluded that swage sludge containing high-concentrate heavy metals needs to be incinerated rather than recycled as fertilizer.

Heavy metals, including lead (Pb) toxicity, are increasing in soil and are considered toxic in small amounts. Pb contamination is mainly caused by industrialization - smelting, mining. Agricultural practices - sewage sludge, pests and urban practices - lead paint. It can seriously damage and threaten crop growth. Pb can adversely affect plant growth and development by affecting the photosystem, cell membrane integrity, and excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)andsuperoxide(O₂.-). NO is produced via enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants to scavenge ROS and lipid peroxidation substrates in terms of protecting cells from oxidative damage. Thus, NO improves ion homeostasis and confers resistance to metal stress. Our results here suggest that exogenous NO may aid in better growth under lead stress. These enhancements may be aided by NO's ability in sensing, signaling and stress tolerance in plants under heavy metal stress in combination with lead stress. Our results show that GSNO has a positive effect on soybean seedling growth in response to axillary pressure and that NO supplementation helps to reduce chlorophyll maturation and relative water content in leaves and roots following strong burst under lead stress. GSNO supplementation (200 µM and 100 µM) reduced compaction and approximated oxidative damage of MDA, proline and H₂O₂. Under plant tension, a distorted appearance was found in the relief of oxidative damage by ROS scavenging by GSNO application. In summary, modulation of these NO, PCS and prolongation of metal past reversing GSNO application confirms the detoxification of ROS induced by toxic metal rates in soybean. In summary, these NO, PCS and metal traditionally sustained rates of reverse GSNO application confirm the detoxification of ROS induced by toxic metal rates in soybean.
