In nature, the overall effect of heavy metals on the biota can be influenced by a number of environmental factors like soil characteristics and air pollution by elevated $CO_2$. Pillbugs(Isopoda, Armadillium vulgare) take up heavy metals with their food and store them mainly in the vesicles of hepatopancreas. They accumulate certain metals, occuring in relatively large numbers, are easily collected and identified. Therefore, it has been suggested that total body concentration of metals in pillbugs could be positively correlated to the levels of environmental exposure and that pillbugs could be used as biological indicators of metal pollution and global change by $CO_2$. The aim of the study is to determine effects of heavy metal concentrations in soil and elevated $CO_2$ on pillbugs'body accumulation of heavy metal and growth rate. In this study, pillbugs were collected at five sites (N=287) May 2006. Cu and Zn concentrations in pillbugs were higher than in soils (1.39-41.70 times) than in control. The high bioconcentration of lead in Sangam may be partly associated with reclaimed land uses. Pillbugs in low $CO_2$ and Pb condition showed higher growth rate than in elevated $CO_2$ and Pb condition.

Objectives : Heavy metal contents in cultivated wild ginseng from Korea and China were evaluated for the safety purpose. Methods : Arsenic(As), cadmium(Cd), lead(Pb), mercury(Hg), copper(Cu), chromium(Cr), and selenium(Se) from the root, stem, and leaves of the Korean cultivated wild ginseng and the root of the Chinese cultivated wild ginseng were analyzed for the existence of heavy metal contents. Results : Most of heavy metals weren't detected in all the samples. Copper and lead were found in very minute volume and didn't reach the toxic concentration level of 10mg/kg. Samples used in the test were grown in non-contaminated areas, free from heavy metal contamination. Conclusions : Based on above results, cultivated wild ginseng from Korea and China are relatively safe from the heavy metal exposure. But for more rigorous quality control, an epidemiological survey using the samples from more diverse areas should be conducted.

An oxygen bomb combustion procedure were studied for determination of heavy metal in polymer materials such as polyvinyl chloride and polypropylene by ICP-AES. This method is proposed as a rapid and simple sample preparation for decomposition of polymer containing certified contents of the analytes by teflon coated oxygen bomb combustion using different absorbing solution. The recoveries of metal were found to be 30~102% from absorbed solution by ICP-AES method using polypropylene certified reference material(PP CRM-As, Ba, Cd, Hg, Pb, Zn). The recoveries of metal using PVC CRM(Cd, Hg, Pb) was found to be 45 ~101% with same procedures.

본 연구는 국내에서 유통되고 있는 해조류(김, 다시마, 미역)와 양식장에서 채취한 미가공 김에서 9종의 중금속 함량을 분석하고, 해조류 섭취에 따른 식품 위해성평가를 실시하였다. 가공된 해조류에서의 중금속 함량은 Fe>As>Zn>Cu>Cd>Pb>Cr>Ni>Hg 순으로 높게 나타났다. 미가공 김과 가공 김의 중금속 농도를 비교한 결과 미가공 김이 가공된 김보다 Cd과 Zn을 제외한 7종의 중금속 농도가 높게 나타났다. 해조류에서 검출된 중금속 성분간 상관관계는 미가공 김에서 Cr-Fe간에 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계를 나타내었고, 가공된 김에서 Cu-Cd, Cu-Zn, Cd-Zn, Pb-Ni간에 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계를 나타내었으며, 다시마에서 Cu-Cr, Cu-Zn, Cd-Cr, Ni-Fe간에 높은 상관관계를 나타내었고 미역에서는 Cu-Cd, Cu-Pb, Cd-Ni, Cr-Zn, Cr-Fe, Zn-Fe간에 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 미가공 김과 가공 김에서 중금속의 농도차이나 중금속간에 상관관계의 양상이 다른 것을 고려하면 가공과정 중에 중금속에 따라 제거효율이 다른 것으로 예상되어졌다. 해조류를 통한 Cu, Cd, Zn, Fe, Hg의 주간섭취량은 잠정주간섭취허용량의 0.1~7.6%에 해당되므로 해조류 내 중금속 함량은 매우 안전한 농도수준으로 판단된다.

Pyrite contained in wasted ore dumps induces a strong acid environment when it contacts oxygenated rainfall. Present research was designed to evaluate the pollution of an area that is supposedly contaminated by pyrite of ore wasted dumps form in Chonju Il Mine. Measured are the pH and selected heavy metal elements in the supposedly polluted hydrologic system. The samples include three types : those collected from the stream waters; those from the stream sediments; and those from the rice field soil scattered over the area. The dispersion path of the pollution source was also traced. The pH of the hydrologic system ranged from 3.44 to 5.46, which clearly indicates that the area is on the acid environment. The pH tends to rise as the distance from the minehead increases. The content of heavy metal elements dissolved in the stream water varies as follows; Mn=69.73~1.99ppm, Cd=0.02~0.03ppm, Zn=0.77~1.18ppm, Cu=0.04~0.13ppm, Pb=0.22~0.32ppm. The stream water in this state may induce serious heavy metal pollution to the agricultural land and the water for human life especially in the villages down the stream. The content of heavy metal elements dissolved in the stream sediment varies as follows; Mn=245.0~4685.0ppm, Cd=10.0~15.0ppm, Zn=105.0~210.0ppm, Cu=65.0~155.0ppm, Pb=90.0~150.0ppm. The content of heavy metal elements dissolved in the rice field soil varies as follows; Mn=185.0~260.0ppm, Cd=10.0~15.0ppm, Zn=135.0~180.0ppm, Cu=65.0~90.0ppm, Pb=100.0~130.0ppm. The pollution index in the stream sediment and the rice field sell is 1.36~2.03, which shows that pollution had already begun all over the area where the samples were collected.

There are U.S. troops with a force about 290,000 strong stationed all around the world, approximately 150 countries. Among the troops, USFK has performed principal part with its stationing for 50 years against the military threat of North Korea. However, as a result of an investigation made into environmental contamination of several bases which were restituted from US to ROK by the Land Partnership Plan in the process of relocation of USFK, it was found that the area was contaminated by not only TPH and BTEX caused by diesel fuel and JP-8 but also various heavy metal over the standard level according to the operations of corps. Among these bases, 4 corps, each of which has different duties and function, were chosen to be analyzed for the characteristics and degrees of soil contamination. Fisrt of all, in armored camp the soil was contaminated by TPH and heavy metal (Zn, Ni, Pb) due to the repairing activities of tracked vehicles and shooting exercises. In army aviation camp, the soil was contaminated by TPH, BTEX and heavy metal (Zn, Cd) due to repairing activities of aircrafts. Also, in engineer camp there was contaminated area polluted by TPH and heavy metal (Zn, Pb) caused by open-air storage of various construction materials and TPH, BTEX and heavy metal (Zn, Pb, Cu) contamination of aircraft shooting area in shooting range camp were detected. Managing environment will be more effective when we identify the contaminative characteristics and take necessary measures in advance.

본 연구는 실험실 조건에서 비스무스 필름 전극(Bismuth film Electrode)을 사용한 양극산화벗김분석법(Anodic Stripping Voltammetry)에서 비스무스의 첨가 농도와 적정 전해질을 선택하여 최적 조건을 산출하고 최적조건을 기반으로 현장에서 중금속 모니터링 가능 여부를 확인하고자하였다. 비스무스(Bi)와 혼합중금속(Pb, Cd, Zn) 실험을 통해 정확한 중금속의 측정을 위해서는 측정하고자 하는 중금속보다 1:1 이상의 비스무스가 첨가되어야 하는 것으로 나타났다. 전해질 테스트에서는 0.1 M acetate buffer (pH 4.5), 0.1 M chloroacetate buffer (pH 2.0), 0.1 M HCl (pH 2.0), 0.1 M $HNO_3$ (pH 2.0) 중 0.1 M acetate buffer가 비스무스 필름전극을 이용한 중금속 분석에 적용 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 현장 적용시, 중금속 표준용액 100 ppb 첨가 테스트 결과 Pb은 36~45 ppb, Cd는 84~91 ppb, Zn은 90~98 ppb가 측정되었다. 첨가한 중금속보다 낮은 농도로 중금속이 측정되는 것은 현장수 매질 효과에 의한 것으로 파악되었으며, 추후 현장수 매질과 중금속 측정의 상관관계에 대한 연구가 진행될 예정이다.

Objectives: This study was conducted in order to examine the relationship between heavy metal concentrations in the soil and the level of heavy metals in the blood or urine of 216 local residents living near abandoned metal mines. Methods: Residents around abandoned metal mines were interviewed about their dietary habits, including seafood consumption, medical history, cigarette smoking, and drug history. Metal concentrations in the soil were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AA-7000, Shimadzu, Japan). Lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) contents in the blood or urine were analyzed by GF-AAS (AA-6800, Shimadzu). Mercury (Hg) contents in the blood were determined by means of a mercury analyzer (SP-3DS, NIC). Arsenic (As) content in the soil and urine were measured by a HG-AAS (hydride vapor generation-atomic absorption spectrophotometer). Results: The heavy metal concentrations in the soil showed a log normal distribution and the geometric means of the four villages were 8.61 mg/kg for Pb, 0.19 mg/kg for Cd, 1.81 mg/kg for As and 0.035 mg/kg for Hg. The heavy metal levels of the 216 local residents showed a regular distribution for Pb, Cd, Hg in the blood and As in the urine. The arithmetic means were 3.37 ${\mu}g$/dl for Pb, 3.07 ${\mu}g$/l for Cd and 2.32 ${\mu}g$/l for Hg, 10.41 ${\mu}g$/l for As, respectively. Conclusions: As a result of multi-variate analysis for the affecting factors on the bodily heavy metal concentrations, gender and concentration in the soil (each, p<0.01) for blood lead levels; gender and smoking status (each, p<0.01) for blood cadmium levels; gender (p<0.01) for urine arsenic levels; gender, age and concentration in the soil (p<0.01) for blood mercury levels were shown to be the affecting factors.
