금호강 유역의 토양중에 함유되어 있는 중금속 함량을 조사하기 위하여 강심으로 부터의 거리별, 표층별로 구분하여 분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 토양중 중금속의 함량은 상류에서 하류로 갈수록 점차 높아지는 경향을 보였으며 공단천과 달서천의 합류후 지점에서 아연 39.52ppm, 구리 35.92ppm, 철 97.90ppm, 망간 102.42ppm, 납 13.93ppm, 카드뮴 0.48ppm으로 현저히 높은 축적치를 보였다. 강창부근은 토양의 성상이 사질토로 중금속 함량이 낮아지는 현상을 보였다. 토층별로 비교해 볼 때 심층보다 각 중금속의 평균함량이 높게 나타났다. 강심으로부터의 거리별 중금속 함량은 지역마다 차이가 있으나 강의 가장자리에서 멀어질 수록 대체로 낮게 나타나는 경향을 보였으며, 강 뚝 밖의 지점에서는 다시 높았다. 토양중 각 중금속간의 상관관계는 철과 납간의 관계를 제외하고는 거의 모두가 유의한 정산관계를 보여주고 있다. 각 중금속과 토양 pH간에는 카드뮴만이 역상관관계가 있었다. 토층별로 볼 때 각 중금속에 대한 표층간, 심층간에는 유의한 정상관 관계를 보였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 하상 토양의 오염은 하천수 오염과 비례한다고 생각된다.

In order to investigate the content of heavy metals in soil according to vertical profiles, 72 soil samples were collected from 4 sampling sites : Ulchiro-2 ga, Dugdo, Sungnaedong, and Amsa- dong. The content of mercury was measured by a mercury analyzer and those of lead, copper and zinc were measured by an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. From the results of this study, it was shown that the content of heavy metals decreased gradually from the surface soil to the 2 m- depth soil. But, there was no difference in the contents of the heavy metals in the 3m, the 4m and the 5m-depth soil.

Atmospheric particulate matters (A. P. M. ) were collected on quartz-fiber filters from March 1985 to May 1986, using the Andersen high-volume air sampler and contents of six heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb Ni) in the A. P. M. were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. These heavy metals were divided into the three groups with respect to their particle size distribution. Fe and Mn were mainly associated with coarse particles (diameter > 2.0 $\mu$m), but Pb and Ni were related fine particles (diameter < 2.0 $\mu$m). Cu and Zn had mized size distributions in both of them. In the seasonal variation of heavy metals, the contents of Fe and Mn in spring and Ni and Pb in winter were higher than any other season. There were high mutual correlation between Fe and Mn coarse particles, and between Pb and Ni in fine particles.

We investigated the depth profiles of heavy metals in the surface sediments at Heedong reservoir in Pusan. Sampling was done at the intervals of 50 m of drift along the water channel into the reservoir. All samples were analyzed with an ICP-AES. We determined the content of Zn, Pb, Cd, Mn, Cu, Cr, and Fe. The overall mean content of these heavy metals were observed to $(2.9\pm1.2){\times}10^{-3},\;(1.3\pm0.7){\times}10^{-3},$ $(1.9\pm2.1){\times}10^{-4},$ $(2.3\pm1.1){\times}10^{-2},\;(1.6\pm1.0){\times}10^{-3},\;and\;(4.5\pm2.6){\times}10^{-4}$ ppm/ppmFe, respectively excluding iron data. Mean contents of Cu show an increasing trend toward the surface of sediments, while those of Cd show a decreasing trend, and those of Pb and Cr are relatively stable. Comparing with the contents of heavy metals in soils at two sites of Kumjeong mountain, enrichment factors of heavy metals in the surface sediments were determined. Among heavy metals we investigated, copper showed the largest value of enrichment factor. Considering the maximum content of heavy metals in the surface sediment, the values of enrichment factors of Cu, Cd and Cr were significant, which were 22, 8.1 and 4.0, respectively. In leaching experiment, it appeared that Pb, Cd, Cr, and Fe in sediments were hardly leached out into water, We also examined the effect of pH on the content of heavy metals.

Mean contents of Cu show an increasing trend toward the surface of sediments, while those of U show a decreasing trend, and those of Pb and Cr are relatively stable. Comparing with the contents of heavy metals in soils at two sites of Kumjeong mountain, enrichment factors of heavy metals in the surface sediments were determined. Among heavy metals we investigated, copper showed the largest value of enrichment factor. Considering the maximum content of heavy metals in the surface sediment, the values of enrichment factors of Cu, Cd and Cr were significant which were n, 8.1 and 4.0, respectively. In leaching experiment, it appeared that Pb, Cd, Cr, and Fe in sediments were hardly leached out into water. We also examined the effect of pH on the content of heavy metals.

Heavy metals may cause trouble(s) in human body. For consideration of the safety of crude drugs cultivated in Korea, we selected some medicinal plants and soils from cultivated site and estimated their heavy metal contents by inductively coupled argon plasma spectrometry (ICAP). Among heavy metals tested, the highest level of Cu and Zn were shown in plants cultivated in Kyung Ki; the highest level of Fe in those in Youngnam and the highest level of Mg and Mn in those in Youngdong. The heavy metal content s were as low as to be permeasible at least for the medicinal plants we selected. There were no significant correlations between heavy metal contents of soils and cultivated medicinal plants.

The removal characteristics of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) and heavy metals in contaminated soils with ultrasonic washing have been studied. The ultrasonic washing was evaluated on a laboratory scale. In this investigation, the effects of factors such as ultrasonic frequency, power intensity, duration of irradiation, contents of the TPHs and heavy metals and mixing ratios between the contaminated soils and water, were considered. Experimental results suggested that the rates for contaminant extraction of the TPHs and heavy metals in the contaminated soil increased considerably with the ultrasonic washing. Therefore, the ultrasonic washing has previously been to be an effective method to remediate the contaminated soils with the TPHs and heavy metals.

Fly ash, by-product from coal fired power station, has long been regarded as a potential contamination source for heavy metals and inorganics due to their enriched concentrations and associations with particle surface. Feed coal and fly ash samples were collected from two power stations; Yongdong deliang with domestic anthracite coals and Boryong with imported bituminous coals. The coal and fly ash samples were analyzed for chemical composition and mineral components, using XRF and XRD. Batch leaching experiments were conducted by agitating samples with deionised water for 24 hours. Anthracite coals are generally higher in Al and Si contents than bituminous coals. This is due to the higher ash contents of the anthracite coal than bituminous coal. The chemistry of the two fly ash samples shows broadly similar compositions each other, except for the characteristically high contents of Cr in anthracite coal fly ash. Leaching experiments revealed that concentrations of metals gradually decreased with leachings in general. However, measurable amounts of metals were present in the effluent from weathered ash and the samples subjected to the leaching procedure. These metals are likely to indicate that the metals in fly ash were incorporated into glass fraction as well as associated with particle surface of samples. Dissolution of aluminosilicate glass would control releasing heavy metals from fly ash as weathering progresses during landfill with implication of possible groundwater contamination through fly ash landfill.

This study was performed to investigate the heavy metal contents and distribution in bioorganisms from the estuary area of Mankyeong-Dongjin river. In paddy plant, the average contents of heavy metals were in order of Zn>Cu>Pb>Cr>Cd in all parts. Those of Cd, Cr, Pb and Cu were all highest in the leaf while lowest in the brown rice. The average content of Zn was almost similar in all parts. In the dried muscular parts of shellfish, the average contents of heavy metals were in the range of 1.06~1.95 mg/kg for Cd, 2.93~4.98 mg/kg for Cr, 0.90~1.17 mg/kg for Pb, 8.41~18.58 mg/kg for Cu and 29.81~67.31 for Zn, respectively, In fish(Acanthogobius hasta), the average contents of heavy metals in the dried body parts were in the range of 0.05~0.43 mg/kg for Cd, 0.65~4.59 mg/kg for Cr, 1.01~4.75 mg/kg for Pb and 1.34~4.19 mg/kg for Cu, with high accumulation in bone and head overally.
