Heavy metal contamination has been increased in aqueous environments near many industrial facilities, such as metal plating facilities, mining operations, and tanneries. The soils in the vicinity of many military bases are also reported to be contaminated and pose a risk of groundwater and surface water contamination with heavy metals. The biological removal of metals through bioaccumulation has distinct advantages over conventional methods; the process rarely produces undesirable or deleterious chemical byproducts, it is highly efficient, easy to operate and cost-effective in the treatment of large volumes of wastewater containing toxic heavy metals. In addition, a recent development of molecular biology shed light on the enhancing the microorganism's natural remediation capability as well as improving the current biological treatment. In this study, characteristics of the cell growth and heavy metal accumulation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains expressing phytochelatin syntahse (PCS) gene were studied in batch cultures. The AtCRFI gene was demonstrated to confer substantial increases in metal tolerance in yeast. PCS-expressing cells tolerated more Cd$^{2＋}$ than controls.

The Dalsung copper-tungsten mine in the Taegu area, Korea was closed in 1975 and may be the sources of the heavy metal contamination in the tributary system and soil-plant system due to the mine drainage derived from the mine wastes and tailings. To examine the degree and extent of heavy metal contamination in the vicinity of Dalsung mine area, stream water and soil samples were taken and analyzed for heavy metals by ICP-AES and AAS. Highly contaminated soils are found near the Lower Tunnel No.0 ranging up to $1760{\mu}g/g$ As, $2060{\mu}g/g$ Cu, $1120{\mu}g/g$ Pb and 346 ${\mu}g/g$ Zn. From the results of the sequential extraction methods for the metal speciation, the heavy metals in soils may be derived from soil parent materials and acid mine drainage. With the processes for the heavy metal removal, most of the heavy metal ions in the acid mine drainage are removed by being exchanged with Ca ions held by the bentonite, hydroxyapatite and calcium hydoxide.

BACKGROUND: Metal mines were actively developed in the early twentieth century in Korea; however, most of these mines were closed and abandoned without proper management. Therefore, toxic metal contamination in the vicinity of Korean abandoned metal mines has been reported. A risk assessment for these metals was performed for residents near by abandoned Sanyang metal mine. METHODS AND RESULTS: Soil and groundwater samples were collected from May to October 2007 around the mine. After pretreatment of these samples, metal concentrations were measured and then a risk assessment was performed using the Korean soil-contamination risk assessment guidelines. Cancer risk was the highest from inhalation of Pb-contaminated soil, followed in descending order by As-contaminated soil inhalation and water ingestion. The sum of carcinogenic risks was $3.35{\times}10^{-3}$. The noncarcinogenic risk was observed for inhalation of Hg-contaminated soil (5.71). CONCLUSION: Inhalation of soil in dust was the principal pathway to cause the health risk and most of the risk was attributed to As, Pb,Cd, and Hg contamination.

Resistivity cone penetrometer test (RCPT) can be employed at a relatively low cost for delineation of subsurface contamination in situ, and then be supplemented with a minimum confirmatory sampling and laboratory testing program. While the resistivity measurement have potential to investigate the subsurface contamination, resistivity measurements alone will lead to some degree of ambiguity in the results. In this study, capacitance measurement was incorporated into the RCPT to overcome the ambiguity inherent in electrical resistivity measurements for delineating the subsurface contamination. This study is focused on verifying the applicability of resistivity and capacitance measurements on CPT module to provide information on contaminated subsurface by heavy metal and petroleum hydrocarbon. Laboratory model tests were performed to evaluate the sensitivity of the measured resistivity and relative capacitance on the water content and different types of contaminants. Test results show that simultaneous measurement of electrical resistivity and capacitance can give more reliable information on subsurface contamination.

Trains have been a major means of transport in Korea during these past decades. However, train facilities such as stations and repair shops are contaminated with organic and inorganic substances. There is a high probability of train facility contamination with polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). This study evaluated the PAH and heavy metal contamination of soil near railroads in the Kyungpook area. A total of 18 soil samples were collected from the railroads and analyzed for 16 PAHs and 6 heavy metal species. The contamination level of the top soil was found to be slightly higher than that of the subsoil for contamination with PAHs. The ratio of carcinogenic PAH concentration to the total PAH concentration was relatively high, with a maximum of 0.9. The toxicity equivalent (TEQ) of the PAHs were 500.6 ng/kg in the topsoil and 355.5 ng/kg in the subsoil. The ratio of low molecular PAHs (LPAHs) to high molecular PAHs (LPAHs) ranged from 6.7 to 29.5; this shows that contamination is primarily due to combustion of fuel rather than due to petroleum. The ratio of phenanthrene to anthracene and the ratio of fluoranthene to pyrene also show that contamination occurred due to combustion for transportation. The heavy metal contamination level was lower than the Korean standard, but higher than the background concentration; this indicates that the soil was affected by the operation of the railways.

경상남도 고성군에 위치한 삼산제일 삼봉 동광산 주변지역의 중금속 오염현황을 조사하기 위하여 하천수와 하상퇴적물을 채취하여 화학적 분석을 수행하였다. 이와 더불어, 중금속 오염도와 환경위해성을 평가하기 위하여 왕수분해법과 연속추출법을 이용하여 분석된 하상퇴적물 내 중금속의 총 농도와 화학적 존재형태에 따른 농도를 바탕으로 한 오염지수와 위험지수를 산정하였다. 삼봉광산 지역보다는 삼산제일광산 지역에서 중금속 오염도도 높게 나타났을 뿐만 아니라 그 환경위해성도 훨씬 심각한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이렇게 두 지역에서 오염현황, 오염도, 환경위해성 등이 다르게 나타나는 이유는 갱내수와 같은 광산 오염원의 존재여부와 지질학적 특성에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다. 삼산제일광산 지역의 경우 산성광산배수가 지속적으로 유출되어 하류 수계로 유입되고 있기 때문에 갱내수가 존재하지 않은 삼봉광산지역보다는 하류 수계에 대한 중금속 오염이 보다 더 악화되어 나타나는 것으로 보인다. 또한, 삼산제일광산 지역 주변 지질은 주로 안산암질 암류로 이루어져 있는데, 이들 안산암질 암류 내에는 산성광산배수를 중화시킬 수 있는 pH 완충력이 큰 탄산염 광물 등의 함량이 크지 않기 때문에 수계에서 중금속 오염이 자연적으로 정화되는 정도가 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 보인다. 이에 비해, 삼봉광산 지역의 지질은 방해석과 같은 탄산염 광물을 다량 함유한 화산쇄설성 퇴적암층인 고성층으로 이루어져 있어서, 이들 탄산염 광물들에 기인한 높은 pH 완충력에 의하여 중금속 오염이 하류 수계 방향으로 확산되지 못하는 것으로 판단된다.원 쇄설물의 축적과 관련이 있는 것으로 추정된다. 특히 Ba의 경우, $SiO_{2}$보다 $10{\sim}20cm$ 정도 지연되어 증가하는 특이한 경향을 보이는데, 이는 빙하후퇴에 이은 생산성의 빠른 증가와 관련된 것으로 보인다.용리하였다. 그 결과 고상선 온도를 상승시켜, 잔류마그마는 비교적 급냉되어 세립질의 화강암류를 만들었다. 마그마에서 용리된 열수는 정동을 만들었으며, 확보된 공간속에서 자수정 정동을 형성하였다.한 BAC 클론을 찾아 염기서열 분석하는 BAC-to-BAC 방법을 추진하고 있으며 8개국에서 참여하여 현재 염기서열 분석을 추진 중 이다. 최근에 각 국에서는 생물정보학기법을 활용한 염기서열 분석 기반에 대하여 많은 토론이 진행되고 있다. 앞으로 다양한 유전체 정보가 축적됨에 따라 배추의 유전체 구조를 이해하고 농업적으로 적용하고자 하는데 기여를 할 것이다.칠고 짙은 흑회색을 띠며 백봉오골계보다 모공수가 더 많고 모공도 더 크다. 10) 백봉오골계와 연산오골계는 모두 일반 양계와는 달리 근육, 내장, 뼈 등이 일반적으로 흑회색을 띠고 있다. 2. 백봉오골계 육의 일반 성분과 Mineral 함량 1) 백봉오골계육은 연산오골계육과 일반 양계육에 비해 수분과 지방 함량은 적고, 단백질과 회분 함량이 높은 것이 특징 이다. 2) 백봉오골계는 칼슘(Ca), 인(P), 철(Fe), 칼륨(K), 아연(Zn)의 함량은 모두 다리살이 가슴살보다 더 높은 경향을 보였으며 특히 철(Fe)의 함량은 가슴살보다 약 5.6배, 아연(Zn)은 약 5.

There is an increasing concern over heavy metal(loid) contamination of soil in agricultural areas including paddy soils. This study was conducted to determine the bioconcentration factor (BCF) for heavy metal(loid)s to brown rice grown in paddy soils vulnerable to heavy metal(loid)s contamination, for the quantitative health risk assessment to the residents living nearby the metal contaminated regions. The samples were collected from 98 sites nationwide in the year 2015. The mean and range BCF values of As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in brown rice were 0.027 (0.001 ~ 0.224), 0.143 (0.001 ~ 2.434), 0.165 (0.039 ~ 0.819), 0.028 (0.005 ~ 0.187), 0.006 (0.001 ~ 0.048), and 0.355 (0.113 ~ 1.263), respectively, with Zn showing the highest. Even though the relationship between heavy metal(loid) contents in the vulnerable soils and metal contents in brown rice collected at the same fields was not significantly correlated, the relationship between log contents of heavy metal(loid)s in the vulnerable soils and BCF of brown rice wes significantly correlated with As, Cd, Cu, and Zn in rice. In conclusion, soil environmental risk assessment for crop uptake should consider the bioconcentration factor calculated using both the initial and vulnerable heavy metal(loid) contents in the required soil and the crop cultivated in the same fields.

본 연구에서는 강우가 석산개발 주변에 위치한 하천의 오염도에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여, 강우량과 중금속 오염도의 관계 및 강우량과 수질 오염도의 관계를 분석하였다. 석산개발 부지 인근의 하천에 대한 중금속 오염도 조사 결과, 매립부지에 사용된 전석, 잔사 및 석분이 직접적인 오염원으로 작용한 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 강우량 증가에 따른 하천 내 유수량이 중금속 오염도에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 수질오염도는 우기철에서 건기철로 변화되는 시기에 증가하였으며, 강우량이 증가하면서 과거 석산개발 부지로부터 많은 부유물질이 배출된 후, 강우가 감소함에 따라 하천에 저류되어 오염도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 S하천에서 지속적인 중금속 오염 및 수질오염이 발생하고 있는 원인으로는 과거 석산개발 완료 후, 매립층에 사용된 재료 및 석산개발 부지에서 오염원이 강우에 의해 배출되는 것으로 판단되었다.
