To consider environmental characteristics in the scope of geochemistry of streams, Hwasun area, soil, sediment and water samples near/in the streams were analyzed in texture and metal contents of soil and sediment and in quality in water. From those analyses, the soils are loamy sand, sandy loam, loam and silty loam in texture. And, the sediments are slightly gravelly sand, gravelly sand and gravelly muddy sand in facies. Metal contents in soils and sediments are of high near Hwasuneup and Hwasun coalfield. In peculiar, P, Co, Li, Ni, Zn and Pb exceed over crust mean contents. Physico-chemistry of above streams according to pH-Eh and Piper's diagrams indicates that the streams are, typically, assigned to natural river water. Water qualities of BOD, T-N and T-P in areas near Hwasun coalfield, Dongmyeon and Hwasuneup are polluted over V level. Enrichment factor(EF) representing metal condensation in P, Cu, Zn and Pb appear near Hwasun coalfield and Hwasuneup from the soil and sediment samples, in part. Additionally, river water in dry season is very high in BOD, T-N, $Na^+$ and ${SO_4}^{2-}$. It is suggested that the relatively high metal contents in the stream be connected with above coalfield and urban areas.

본 연구에서는 FSM 축과 코스레 맹그로브 퇴적물 내 7개 중금속(Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd 및 Pb)의 오염도를 평가하였다. 맹그로브 퇴적물 내 중금속의 평균농도는 Cr 642 ${\mu}g/g$, Ni 125 ${\mu}g/g$, Cu 46.9 ${\mu}g/g$, Zn 149 ${\mu}g/g$, As 15.6 ${\mu}g/g$, Cd 0.14 ${\mu}g/g$ 및 Pb 8.55 ${\mu}g/g$으로 Cr의 농도가 가장 높았으며 Cd이 가장 낮은 농도로 존재하고 있었다. 축과 코스레 지역을 비교하면 코스레 맹그로브 퇴적물은 Cr과 Ni의 농도가 축에 비해 높았으며, 나머지 원소인 Cu, Zn, As, Cd 및 Pb는 축 맹그로브 퇴적물에서의 농도가 코스레에 비해 높은 것으로 나타났다. 세계의 맹그로브 지역의 퇴적물 내 중금속의 농도와 비교한 축과 코스레 지역에서 채취한 맹그로브 퇴적물 Cr, Ni 및 As의 농도는 인간활동에 의한 인위적인 오염이 존재하는 다른 지역보다 높은 수준으로 나타났으며, Cu, Zn, Cd 및 Pb은 오염되지 않은 지역과 유사한 농도를 나타내었다. EF와 PLI를 이용하여 농축도(오염도) 평가결과에 의하면, As의 농축도는 높으나 나머지 원소는 오히려 배경농도에 비해 결핍된 것을 알 수 있었다.

We measured the concentrations of organic matter and metallic elements (Al, Fe, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb and Hg) in the surface sediments of Masan Harbor (in the southern sea, Korea) to evaluate the geochemical characters of sediment and the pollutions by organic matter and metallic elements. The mean grain size of the surface sediments in the study area ranged from $5.6{\phi}$ to $7.8{\phi}$, indicating silt sediment. The water content of the surface sediments exceeded 60% except at some stations. The contents of ignition loss (IL), total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) ranged from 7.2-14.3%, 1.2-3.2%, and 0.10-0.28%, respectively. Based on the C/N ratios, the organic matter in the surface sediments of Masan Harbor may originate from terrigenous sources including fluvial inputs (mainly sewage in urban areas). The chemical oxygen demand (COD) and acid volatile sulfide (AVS) ranged from $11.3-29.9\;mgO_2/g\;dry$ and 0.20-4.47 mgS/g dry, respectively, and low concentrations were observed near a shipping route. In addition, the concentrations of metallic elements showed large spatial variations in Masan Harbor and the distributions of metallic elements were also comparable to those of organic matter. This implies that the distributions of organic matter and metallic elements in the surface sediments of Masan Harbor are mainly controlled by biogenic matter and artificial action (mainly dredging). In addition, we calculated the enrichment facto. (EF) and geoaccumulation index (Igeo) in order to evaluate pollution by metallic elements. The enrichment of metallic elements relative to Al was three to eighteen times higher at the study sites, compared to levels in the Earth's crust except for Fe, Ni and Mn. In addition, the Igeo class indicated that the surface sediments in the study area were moderately to strongly polluted in terms of metallic elements.

시화호 형도 근처 조간대(帶, intertidal zone) 지역 갯벌의 퇴적환경을 알아보기 위해 10개 정점 표층 및 2개 정점 주상퇴적물에 대한 입도, 함수율, 휘발성산화합물(Acid Volatile Sulfide; AVS), 총유기탄소(Total Organic Carbon; TOC) 및 중금속(Al, Fe, Mn, Cu, As, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cd 및 Cr) 항목에 대해 분석 하였다. 표층 퇴적물은 대체로 분급이 불량(분급도, 0.60~2.31${\phi}$)한 sandy Silt, slightly gravelly muddy Sand, silty Sand 및 Sand 등의 퇴적상으로 구분되며, 평균입도는 2.95~6.00${\phi}$로 극조립 실트(Silt)에 해당한다. 표층 퇴적물의 Al 함량은 1.54%, Fe은 1.75%, Cu는 9.1ppm, As는 1.1ppm, Pb은 18.8ppm, Ni은 11.0ppm, Cd은 0.02ppm 그리고 Cr은 30.1ppm으로 측정되었으며, 주상 퇴적물 또한 미국해양대기청(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; NOAA) 기준의 ERL(Effective Range Low, 저서생물에 독성을 보이는 초기 10% 농도)을 초과하지 않았다. 주상퇴적물의 과잉 방사능 납($^{210}Pbex$)의 분포를 통해 퇴적률을 추정한 결과, 급격한 퇴적물의 다량유입에 의해 수직적으로 방사능(activity)이 유사한 값을 나타내고 있어 정확한 퇴적률(apparent sedimentation rate)은 추정할 수 없었다. 그러나 2개 코어 상부 35cm 에서 퇴적물의 급격한 유입 및 환경적 영향등으로 금속 농축계수(Enrichment factors; EF) 계산값은 비교적 높게 나타났다.

굴양식이 성행하는 안정만 해역은 인근 연안에 LNG비축기지, 조선소 등의 공단이 가동되고 있어 일부 양식장은 품종을 전환하고 있다. 이 연구는 안정만 해역의 연안생태계에 영향을 미치는 저질환경 특성을 조사하기 위하여 2009년부터 2010년까지 2회에 걸쳐 20개 정점의 표층퇴적물을 채집, 분석하였다. 안정만 해역의 표층퇴적물의 IL은 6.41-11.68% (평균 $9.52{\pm}1.28%$)의 범위였고, COD는 17.99-43.84 mg/g (평균 $27.53{\pm}6.39mg/g$), 그리고 AVS는 0.05-0.61 mg/g (평균 $0.17{\pm}0.14mg/g$)의 범위였다. 유기물함량은 저질의 수분함량과 밀접한 상관관계가 있었고, 이는 양식품종의 분포 패턴과도 관계가 있어 흰멍게로 양식품종이 변화된 북부해역의 COD가 비교적 높게 나타났다. 일부 조사정점을 제외하고 대부분의 중금속함량은 NOAA의 ERL 기준치 이하였고, 중금속 부화지수는 0.96-1.12의 범위로 중금속 오염에서는 비교적 청정한 것으로 판단되지만, 증가하는 선박 통행량을 고려할 때, 지속적인 저질환경 모니터링이 요구된다.

Grain size, the content of ignition loss (IL), and the concentrations of chemical oxygen demand (COD), acid volatile sulfide (AVS), and trace metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, As, and Hg) in surface sediments from the Taehwa River estuary, Ulsan, were measured to evaluate pollution levels and potential ecological risks of organic matter and trace metals in estuarine sediment. The mean grain size (Mz) of sediments in the study region ranged from $-0.8-7.7{\varphi}$ (mean $2.8{\pm}2.4{\varphi}$). Surface sediments in the upstream region of the Taehwa River were mainly composed of coarse sediments compared to the downstream region. The concentrations of IL, COD, AVS and trace metals in the sediment were much higher at downstream sites of Myeongchon Bridge in the vicinity of industrial complexes than at upstream sites of those in the vicinity of the residential areas due to the anthropogenic input of organic matter and trace metals by industrial activities. On the basis of several geochemical assessment techniques [sediment quality guidelines (SQGs), enrichment factor (EF), geoaccumulation index ($I_{geo}$), pollution load index (PLI) and ecological risk index (ERI)], the surfaces sediments in the study region are not highly polluted for trace metals, except for As. However, the higher concentrations in downstream study regions of the Taehwa River could impact benthic organisms including shellfish (i.e. Manila clam) in sediments.

Beryllium (Be), cobalt (Co), thallium (Tl) and vanadium (V) are candidates of 21 priority soil pollutants in Korea. The distribution of their concentration in soils from three contamination sources including industrial, roadside and mining areas was investigated. Concentrations of the metals were evaluated quantitatively using pollution indices and the fractionation of metals was conducted using modified SM&T (Standards Measurements and Testing programme) sequential extraction. Concentrations of the metals for all samples from industrial and roadside soils were within the range of natural background levels, while some of Be in soils from abandoned mines exceeded that the range. Enrichment Factor (EF) and Nemerow Integrated Pollution Index (NIPI) for Be, Co, Tl and V showed that there are effects or possibilities of anthropogenic activities. Pollution Load Index (PLI) analyses indicated all investigated sites needed further monitoring. The results of sequential extractions indicated mobile fractions (F1+F2) of Be, Tl and V were below 30% except some of Co in soil, which implies their low mobility to neighboring environment media. Variable tools like sequential extraction, comparison with background/actual concentration and pollution indices, as well as aqua regia extraction should be considered when evaluating Be, Co, Tl, V in soil.

This study was carried out to compare the toxicity of nano and micrometer particles with Cu and Zn on soil microbial community and metal uptake of buck wheat. In microcosm system, soil was incubated for 14 days after soil aliquots were artificially contaminated with 1,000 mg/kg Cu, Zn nano and micro particles, respectively. After then, buck wheat was planted in incubating soils and non incubating soils. After 14 days, we compared bioaccumulation of metal, and microbial carbon substrate utilization patterns between incubating soils and non-incubating soils. The enrichment factor (EF) values of incubating samples were greater than non-incubating soils. Dehydrogenase activity had been inhibited by Cu and Zn nanoparticles in non-incubating soil, as well as it had been inhibited by Zn micro particles in incubating soils. Results of biolog test, it was not significant different between nano particles and micro particles. It cannot be generalized that nanoparticles of metal are always more toxic to soil microbial activity and diversity than micrometer-sized particles and the toxicity needs to be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

In order to certificate the distribution and pollution of heavy metal of surface sediments in Nakdong River were collected and analyzed for grain size, water content, ignition loss and heavy metal content. Surface sediments mainly composed of sand(avg. 94.6%) and water content and ignition loss were 20.46%, 1.53% on average. Grain size were relatively fine and organic matter content were relatively high in the Hoichun and Sunakdonggang. Most of heavy metal content(Zn > Cr > Pb > Ni > Cu > Hg) in the Deokcheongang and Sunakdonggang were higher than the other streams. The Igeo were non polluted(less than 0) in all streams and the EF were relatively high in the small stream and PLI were non polluted(less than 1). In addition, organic matter, heavy metal content and pollution were highly correlation with grain size. Surface sediments in study area, heavy metal pollution of the Sunakdonggang were relatively high compared to the other stream but these results were not serious pollution that exceed the sediment pollution evaluation standard of river and lake in Korea and pollution levels adversely affected the majority of benthos were not.
