Enrichment in nutrients coming from urban sewage outfalls can lead to eutrophication in coastal areas, which can also change the species composition and community structure of macro algal communities. We investigated the structure of the macro algal community within three rocky shores in order to assess any possible differences in their characteristics. Site 1 was located near Tongyeong city's sewage outfall, Site 2 was located near a public beach area, and Site 3 faced open channel of the Ocean. All three sites were located within the same stretch of the coast, where Site 2 was located between sites 1 and 3. We measured the nutrient concentration in water and the tissue nitrogen content in macro algae samples. Nutrients in the water column surrounding site 1 were high in ammonium ($30.2\pm1.8{\mu}M$), nitrate ($26.2{\pm}0.1{\mu}M$), and phosphate ($2.7{\pm}0.1{\mu}M$) content, and were characterized by low numbers of macroalgal species and species and a low species diversity index. In contrast, site 3 exhibited relatively low nutrient concentration levels and a high number of macroalgal species and a high species diversity index. Comparative analysis showed that the tissue nitrogen content of macroalgae were significantly (P<0.05) affected by the nutrient concentration in the water column. The tissue nitrogen content of green algae within site 1 was higher than the others sites. However, the tissue nitrogen content of brown algae was similar at all three sites. Thus, the tissue nitrogen content of macro algae and the macro algal community structure of intertidal rocky shores were dependent on location and the performance of macroalgal communities was dependent on water quality.

본 연구는 서울시 성북구 성북동을 대상으로 근대 이후 문화재와 주변 경관 변화과정 및 원인을 사회 문화적인 측면에서 설명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 1962년부터 2010년까지 사용한 폐쇄지적도를 이용하여 필지를 분석하고, 문헌자료를 참고하여 연구하였다. 시대별 변화과정 확인이 가능한 성락원, 마포최사영고택, 서울선잠단지, 서울한양도성을 위주로 변화과정을 추적하였으며, 문화재의 소경관(素景觀)을 검토하고 필지 변화와 함께 경관변천을 분석하였다. 성락원은 1954년에 송석정과 연못이 조성된 모습을 소경관이라 볼 수 있으며, 마포최사영고택은 2003년 이후 성북동으로 이전 복원한 것, 서울선잠단지는 1960년대 개발로 현재의 터만 남게 된 모습을, 서울한양도성은 숙종30년에 석성으로 개축한 것을 각 문화재의 소경관으로 정의하였다. 성락원은 제도적 요인에 의해 변화가 생겼고, 마포최사영고택과 주변 경관은 사회경제적 요인에 의해 변화가 생겼으며, 서울 선잠단지와 그 주변은 사회경제적 제도적 요인에 의해, 서울한양도성과 그 주변은 기술적 제도적 요인에 의해 변화가 생겼다고 볼 수 있다. 이처럼 성북동의 문화재와 그 주변경관은 대체로 제도적 요인과 사회경제적 요인에 의해 변화가 생기는 것을 알 수 있었다. 근대 이후 서울의 도시계획이 성북동에도 영향을 미쳤으리라 예상되며, 자본주의 경제체제 확립이 그 배경이 된 것이라 판단된다. 따라서 문화자원으로서의 잠재적 가치를 인식한 바람직한 경관변화가 이루어지길 기대한다.

The objectives of this study were to identify multi-level stressors from blood biomarkers to community-level bioindicators and diagnose the stream ecosystem health in polluted streams. Blood chemistry such as total protein ($T_{Pro}$), blood urea nitrogen ($B_{UN}$), total cholesterol ($T_{Cho}$) and $A_{lb}$umin ($A_{lb}$) were analyzed from sentinel fish tissues; the functions of kidney, gill and liver were significantly decreased in the impacted zone ($I_z$), compared to the control zone ($C_z$). Histopathological analysis showed that fish liver tissues were normal in the $C_z$. Fish liver tissues in the $I_z$, however, showed large cell necrosis and degeneration and also had moderate lobular inflammation and inflammatory cell infiltration of lymphocytic histocytes. Species biotic index (SBI) at species level and stream health assessment (SHA) at community level indicated that chemical impacts were evident in the $I_z$ (ecological health; poor - very poor), and this was matched with the blood tissue analysis and histopathological analysis. The impairments of the streams were supported by water chemistry analysis (nitrogen, phosphorus). Tolerance guild analysis and trophic guild analysis of fish were showed significant differences (P < 0.01) between $C_z$ and $I_z$. Overall, multiple parameter analysis from biomarker level (blood tissues) to bioindicator level (community health) showed significantly greater impacts in the $I_z$ than $C_z$. This approach may be effective as a monitoring tool in identifying the multilateral and forthcoming problems related to chemical pollution and habitat degradation of stream ecosystems.

Objectives : To obtain reference values for the pulmonary asbestos and non-asbestos fiber contents of residents in Korea and to compare them with similar results from Japan. Methods : The autopsied lung specimens from 22 deceased people (20 males and 2 females) in Pohang, without any known occupational history of asbestos exposure, were analyzed for incidence of asbestos and non-asbestos fibers by transmission electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis after using low temperature ashing procedures. Results : Chrysotite fiber (46.2%) was the major fiber type found in the lungs of the subjects. The asbestos fiber concentrations found in males and females were $0.09\times10^6$ fiberss(g of dry lungs) and $0.30\times10^6$ fibers/(g of dry lungs), respectively, showing a geometric mean concentration $0.09\times10^6$ fibers/(g of dry lung tissue), due to the predominance of males in the sample. The non-asbestos fiber contents in males and females were $4.61\times10^6$ fibers/(g of dry lungs) and $17.79\times10^6$ fibers/(g of dry lungs), respectively, with a geometric mean concentration $5.21\times10^6$ fibers/(g of dry lung tissue). Conclusions : Residents in Pohang had significantly lower levels of both asbestos and non-asbestos fibers than urban residents in Korea. Furthermore, Koreans had significantly lower levels of both asbestos and non-asbestos fibers than Japanese.

비둘기 깃털을 이용하여 섬지역(경기도 덕적도), 도심지역(서울), 공단지역(여천, 안산, 울산, 부산)의 납 오염 수준을 모니터링 해본 결과, 깃털의 평균 납 농도는 섬지역이 2.55 $\mu\textrm{g}$/wet g, 도심 지역이 4.99 $\mu\textrm{g}$/wet g, 공단지역이 3.08~9.01 $\mu\textrm{g}$/wet g, 으로 각 지역간에 유의한 농도 차이가 있는 것으로 조사되었다(p<0.05). 다만, 여천 공단의 경우 다른 공단에 비해 상대적으로 낮게 나타났으며 섬지역과 비슷한 수준의 납이 검출되었다. 이러한 각 지역간 깃털의 납 농도는 대기오염 농도와도 비슷한 경향을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 납 농도가 비교적 낮은 덕적도와 여천 공단의 경우 간과 깃털 조직간에 정의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌지만(p<0.05) 그외의 지역에서는 상대적으로 간 농도에 비해 깃털의 농도가 높았으며, 두 조직간에 상관관계가 없는 것으로 조사되었다(p>0.05) 이와 같은 결과는 덕적도와 여천 공단지역의 깃털 중 납의 대부분은 체내 조직으로부터 깃털로 이행되어진 것으로 판단되지만, 그 외 지역에서는 체내 조직에서 깃털로 이행된 양보다는 외부로부터 깃털에 부착된 양이 더 크다는 것을 시사한다.
