중금속오염폐수처리에의 미생물 이용 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 중금속에 강한 내성을 지님과 동시에 균체내 중금속 축적능력이 우수한 중금속 내성균을 분리하여 competing ion, 대사저해제 등과 같은 외부 요인에 따른 균체내 중금속 축적변화를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 중금속을 처리한 용액중 양이온인 $Al^{3+}$이온과 음이온인 $CO_3\;^{2-}$ 및 $PO_4\;^{2-}$이온이 competing ion으로 존재할 경우 중금속 내성균의 균체내 중금속 축적은 크게 감소되었으나, 그외 다른 양이온들과 음이온들에 대해서는 거의 영향을 받지 않았다. Cd, Zn 및 Cu 내성균주의 Cd, Zn 및 Cu 축적은 대사저해제에 의하여 크게 감소되었으나, Pb 내성균주에 의한 Pb 축적은 거의 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타나 Cd, Zn 및 Cu 내성균주의 Cd, Zn 및 Cu 축적은 에너지 의존적인 과정으로서 물질대사와 관련되어 있는 것으로 생각되었으며, Pb 내성균주의 Pb 축적은 에너지 비의존적인 과정으로서 물질대사와 관련이 별로 없는 물리적인 과정에 의하여 축적되는 것으로 생각되었다. 각 중금속 내성균주들은 해당 중금속 축적능력에 비하여 낮았으나 타 중금속들의 축적능력도 있었으며, 여러가지 중금속들을 동일 농도로 복합처리 하였을 경우 해당 중금속들의 축적능력이 타 중금속들에 비하여 매우 높게 나타나 각 중금속 내성균주들의 해당 중금속 축적은 선택적인 과정에 의하여 축적되는 것으로 생각되었다.

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.

This study was investigated the contents of heavy metals in plants at Dalcheun mine area, in order to offer basic data for phytoremedation on soil contamination by heavy metals. As the results of this study, the contents of Ni, As, Cd in plants were the highest at the west area of Dalcheun mine area. But the content of Zn was similar in all of Dalcheun mine area. For the herbaceous plants, the contents of heavy metals were higher in plants which were included in Gramineae and Compositae than any other families. And then the contents of Ni, Zn, Cd in root were higher $1.4{\sim}1.8$ times than stem, especially the content of As was higher 4 times. For the trees, the contents of heavy metals were usually high in Zanthoxylum piperitum, Pine tree, Chestnut tree, Quercus acutissima and Lindera obtusiloba. The contents of heavy metals with parts of tree were almost same range. All experimental result, we paid attention on two conclusions. First, the contents of heavy metals in herbs was higher than in trees. And second, if there were some spices that the content of heavy metal in leave were higher than in root, they could accumulate that kind of heavy metal. Therefore, It is above 2 times which the content of heavy metal in the leave is higher than in the root about herbs, that kind of plants was regarded as a accumulation species. According as the heavy metals, accumulation species were selected. We think that the accumulation species are able to absorb the heavy metals from the soil, they will make use of phytoremedation on contaminated soil by heavy metals.

안동호와 임하호에 서식하고 있고 누치(H. labeo)의 부위(아가미, 신장, 뼈, 비늘, 근육)에 따른 각 조직 내 중금속(Al, As, Cr, Cd, Hg, Pb, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn) 함량을 측정하여 양호의 서식환경에 따른 누치의 부위별 중금속 축적량을 알아보고자 하였다. 안동호와 임하호에 서식하는 누치의 중금속 함량은 안동호에서 높았으며, As, Cd과 Hg은 함량의 차이가 컸다. Al, As와 Fe의 함량은 모두 아가미 조직에서 가장 높았고 근육 조직에서 가장 낮았으며, Zn 함량은 조사된 모든 부위에서 거의 동일한 수준을 보였다. 또한 Al, Cr, Cu와 Mn 함량은 임하호에 서식하는 누치에서 보다는 안동호에 서식하는 누치의 아가미와 신장 조직에서 높게 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과 안동호에 서식하는 누치가 임하호에 서식하는 누치보다 중금속 함량이 높았으며, 이는 안동호의 수질과 저니에서 중금속 함량이 높은 것으로 보아 수환경의 수질과 저니에 포함된 유기물을 어류가 먹이로 섭취함으로써 어류에서도 높은 함량을 보인 것으로 생각된다.

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.

The welders and car painters are frequently exposed to heavy metals such as lead, zinc, cadmium and chromium, and those are a major source of heavy metal poisoning. This study was carried out to investigate the relationship of the heavy metal level in blood by age, working duration, and smoking status among 105 industrial workers and 88 general people in Gyeongnam province from October 2003 to October 2004. The heavy metal level in blood was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Mean blood lead level in exposed group and control group was 8.40±4.67μl/dl, 1.82±1.35μl/dl, respectively. Mean blood zinc level in exposed group and control group was 9.43±5.38 ㎍/ml, 2.89±1.79㎍/ml, respectively. Mean blood cadmium level in Exposed group and control group was 1.53±1.05μl/dl, 0.60±0.49 μl/dl, respectively. Mean blood chromium level in exposed group and control group was 0.89±0.76μl/dl, 0.68±0.63μl/dl, respectively. Lead, zinc, cadmium and chromium level in blood of exposed group was significantly higher than that of control group. In the comparison of smoking status, lead, zinc and cadmium level of smoker's was significantly higher than that of non-smoker's. Comparison of heavy metal level by age, lead, zinc, cadmium level in 40's, 50's (exposed group) in blood significantly higher than that of 20's, 30's. In exposed group, working duration has no significant difference. In conclusion, smoking was the most hazardous factor to elevate in blood heavy metal levels.

Although siderophores are induced primarily in response to iron deficiency, soil and other ecological factors can affect on this process. This study was to evaluate the production of siderophores by different fungal species isolated from heavy metal contaminated and uncontaminated soils. More than thirty fungal strains were isolated from heavy metal contaminated and rhizosphere uncontaminated soils. Chrome azurol sulfonate (CAS) was used for both quantitative and qualitative evaluation of siderophores production. No significant correlations were observed between the tested variables such as ultraviolet (UV) irradiation method and CAS-agar plate and heavy metal concentration in both soils. The production of siderophores in rhizosphere fungi was higher than those isolated from the contaminated soil; however, the difference was not significant. The siderophore production (%) by fungi isolated from heavy metal contaminated soil using UV irradiation method was positively correlated with the qualitative values using CAS-plate method (P<0.05). Pearson correlation test indicated a positive correlation between the quantitative and qualitative methods of detection for fungi isolated from rhizosphere and also those isolated from heavy metal contaminated soil.

The concentration of heavy metal were studied for the estimation of quality in herbal medicines which is Bupleuri Radix, Paeoniae Radix, Dioscoreae Rhizoma and Astragali Radix in products of north Kyungbuk area. And we compared with heavy metal concentration of herbal medicines in products of Kyungbuk and the other area of Korea. Also, we collected soils from several area in Kyungbuk, and determined heavy metal concentration of soils by ICP. We compared with herbal medicines in products of Kyungbuk and their soils. The results were as follow : Kyungbuk area appear to be more proper to cultivated land than other area. For the heavy metals contents of Kyungbuk area, in Gong Jung Ri, represented the higher level, it may be due to a near the road. Correlation coefficients of heavy metal contents in cultured herbal medicines and their soils did not give reproducible results.

The following research was initiated in order to compare the relationship between the amount of gunfire shot and its resulting heavy metal pollution rate. The research was conducted at two firing ranges located inside a military unit stationed in the rear strategical area, where one full distance firing range is used by soldiers in active service, and the other is used by recruits and reserves. The heavy metal pollution rate was measured also on water sample collected from the target zone while raining. Based on values such as the real amount of gunshot fired, amount of heavy metal in the soil of the target zone, and the degree of heavy metal pollution for each firing range, the research showed that although pollution rate was higher when more gunshots were fired, there was no close correlation between the two. The water samples showed that this might result from the soils containing heavy metals eroded and transported by rain due to the target zone having no vegetation.
