Positive effect of multiple-PGPR (Plan Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria), isolated from heavy metal contaminated soil, on the germination of Barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli var. frumentacea) was quantitatively estimated in 5 heavy metal (Cd, As, Ni, Cu, and Pb) contaminated liquid medium. The $EC_{50}$ value for respective heavy metal was estimated by TSK (Trimmed Speraman-Karber) model based on germination rate. The results showed overall increase in $EC_{50}$ with PGPR inoculation. The $EC_{50}$ value increased 1.4% from 96.0 mg/L (control) to 97.4 mg/L (PGPR-treated) in As contaminated medium. In Ni contaminated medium, the $EC_{50}$ value increased 31.9% from 148.0 mg/L (control) to 195.2 mg/L (PGPR-treated), while the $EC_{50}$ showed 4.8% increase from 63.4 mg/L (control) to 66.5 mg/L (PGPR-treated) in Cu medium. Overall seedling growth was stronger in the PGPR treated seeds than that in the control, but positive effect on seedling growth was not conspicuous. At effective concentration of 100 mg/L, the average seedling length of the PGPR treatment in As, Cd, Cu, and Ni medium, respectively, was 1.13, 0.14, 0.40, and 0.06 cm longer than that in the control. However, the increase of seedling growth was statistically insignificant (p < 0.05). These results suggest that inoculation of the isolated-PGPR exerts positive effects on seed germination by reducing heavy metal toxicity and can be an effective tool for application of phytoremediation on heavy metal contaminated soils.

Heavy metal pollution in agricultural field has been a critical issue in worldwide. For this reason, remediation technologies for heavy metal polluted soil are applied especially near at the abandoned metal mine. Soil quality analysis is also an important factor for proper management in heavy metal polluted agricultural field. In this study, scoring function was utilized to evaluate soil quality in heavy metal polluted agricultural field. Among other soil properties, bulk density, soil pH, EC, $NH_4$-N, $NO_3$-N, and cation exchange capacity (CEC) were determined for minimum data set (MDS) with principal component analysis. Result showed that both upland and paddy soil contaminated with heavy metal were not suitable for crop growth except scoring of soil pH for paddy soil and CEC for upland soil. This result might indicate that chemical stabilization technology with chemical amendment could be adapted for remediation method for heavy metal polluted agiclutural field not only for heavy metal immobilization but also enhancement of soil condition for crop growth.

This research was conducted to estimate the effect of sonication and reducing agent addition on soil washing of heavy metals-contaminated soil. Sonication trained in soil washing did not significantly increased extraction efficiency of heavy metal compared to soil washing only. The extraction efficiency of sonication trained in soil washing was 12% increased for Pb in 0.01M EDTA leaching solution. Pb and Cd showed higher extraction efficiency in case of reducing agent treatment with mechanical shaking than that with sonication. However, the extraction efficiency of Cu and Zn in case of reducing agent treatment with sonication was over 2 times higher than that in with soil washing. Therefore, application of reducing agent addition with sonication or mechanical shaking should be decided differently for pretreatment of soil washing, according to the kind of heavy metal. It was estimated that sonication after adding reducing agent could increase removal efficiency of Zn or Cu-contaminated soil and shorten the treatment time.

Heavy metal pollution in agricultural field near the abandoned metal mines is a critical problem in Korea. General remediation technique is to apply chemical amendments and soil covering. However, there is no specific guidelines for conducting soil covering. Therefore, main objective of this research was to determine optimum soil covering technique with microcosm experiment. Three different chemical amendments, lime stone (LS), steel slag (SS), and acid mine drainage sludge (AMDS), were examined and varied soil covering depth, 20, 30, 40cm, was applied to determine optimum remediation technique. Bioavailable heavy metal concentration in soil and total concentration of heavy metals in crop were monitored. Result showed that average heavy metal concentration in varied soil covering depth was ordered as 40 cm ($14.5mg\;kg^{-1}$) < 20 cm ($14.6mg\;kg^{-1}$) < 30 cm ($16.0mg\;kg^{-1}$) and also heavy metal concentration in crop was ordered as 40 cm ($100{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$) < 30 cm ($183{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$) < 20 cm ($190{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$). In terms of chemical amendments, average heavy metal concentration was decreased as AMDS ($150{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$) < SS ($151{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$) < LS ($154{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$). Overall, depth of soil covering should be over 30 cm to minimize bioaccumulation of heavy metals and SS and LS could be applied in heavy metal contaminated soil for remediation purposes.

중금속으로 오염된 부지는 다양한 공법으로 복원이 가능하나 오염부지가 비교적 넓은 경우 중금속을 부지로부터 제거하는 적극적 공법은 기술적 어려움과 비용의 문제로 쉽게 사용할 수 없다. 그러므로 토양에서 중금속의 용출을 차단 및 지연하는 안정화 공법이 보다 현실적이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내의 비교적 큰 규모의 중금속 오염토양인 제련소 오염토양을 대상으로 magnetite, hematite, zeolite-A, zeolite-X, zeolite-Y, zinc oxide, calcium oxide, carbon trioxide, manganese oxide, manganese dioxide, fish bone, sodium phosphate 등의 다양한 안정화제의 적용성실험을 수행하였다. 비소, 납, 구리, 니켈, 아연 등의 다중 중금속으로 오염된 토양의 경우 1종의 안정화제로 안정화가 어려우며 기존 연구에서 보고된 특정 중금속의 안정화에 우수한 성능을 갖는 안정화제의 경우에도 다른 중금속의 안정화에 기여하지 못하거나 용출을 촉진하는 경향을 보였다. 시간이 경과함에 따라 안정화 효율이 증가하였다. 니켈과 납의 경우 calcium oxide, carbon trioxide, manganese oxide 등의 안정화제가 효과가 있으며 특히 연속추출에서 물에 의한 추출부분에서 안정화 효율이 높았다. 구리의 경우 manganese oxide, zeolite 등이 효과가 크며 연속추출에서 exchangeable 추출부분에서 안정화 효율이 높았다. 비소의 경우 magnetite에 의한 안정화 효과를 보이며 대부분의 metal oxide와 phosphate 에 의해 용출이 촉진되는 부작용을 보였다. 그러므로 다양한 중금속으로 오염된 토양의 경우 2종 이상의 안정화제를 사용하여야 하며 역효과를 일으키는 안정화제의 사용을 배제하고 중금속의 농도에 따라 사용량 및 안정화 기간을 달리하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

A long-term field demonstration experiment of selected stabilization method to reduce the heavy metal mobility in farmland soil contaminated by heavy metals around abandoned mine site was conducted. Field demonstration experiments were established on the contaminated farmland with the wooden plate(thickness=1cm) which dimension were width=200cm, Length=200cm, height=80cm and filled with treated soil, which was mixed with lime stone and steel refining slag except on control plot. Soil samples were collected and analyzed during the experiment period(2008. 2~2008. 8) after the installation of the plots. Field demonstration experiments results showed that the application ratio of lime stone 5% was effective for immobilizing heavy metal components in contaminated farmland soil.

Risk based pollution level of Pb and Cd in metal contaminated soils depending on physicochemical properties of soil in a target site was assessed using biotic ligand model. Heavy metal activity in soil solution defined as exposure activity (EA) was assumed to be toxic to Vibrio fischeri and soil organisms. Predicted effective activity (PEA) determined by biotic ligand model was compared to EA value to calculate risk quotient. Field contaminated soils (n = 10) were collected from a formes area and their risk based pollution levels were assessed in the present study using the calculated risk quotient. Concentrations of Pb determined by aqua regia were 295, 258, and 268 mg/kg in B, H and J points and concentrations of Cd were 4.73 and 6.36 mg/kg in G and I points, respectively. These points exceeded the current soil conservation standards. However, risk based pollution levels of the ten points were not able to be calculated because concentrations of Pb and Cd in soil solution were smaller than detection limits or one (i.e., non toxic). It was because heavy metal activity in soil solution was dominant toxicological form to organisms, not a total heavy metal concentration in soil. In addition, heavy metal toxicity was decreased by competition effect of major cations and formation of complex with dissolved organic carbon in soil solution. Therefore, it is essential to consider site-specific factors affecting bioavailability and toxicity for estimating reliable risk of Pb and Cd.

도시화 및 산업화로 인해 발생된 중금속으로 오염된 토양의 정화는 인간의 건강 뿐 아니라 지구생태계의 지속성을 위해 매우 중요하다. 중금속 오염 토양 정화 기술 중 식물상복원법은 타 방법에 비해 처리 단가가 저렴하고, 토양 비옥도 및 생물 다양성이 영향을 덜 받는 환경친화적인 방법이다. 이러한 식물상복원법에 식물생장촉진세균(plant growth promoting bacteria, PGPB)을 도입하여 중금속 독성 하에서 식물 생장을 촉진하고 중금속 정화 효율을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 주요 토양오염물인 중금속의 발생원, 미생물·식물·인간에 미치는 중금속 영향 및 PGPB의 식물생장촉진 기작을 정리하였다. 중금속 오염 토양 정화를 위하여 식물상복원에 PGPB의 활용에 관한 최근 10년 동안의 연구 동향을 분석하였다. 또한, PGPB의 실제 적용 시 중금속 제거 효율에 미치는 다양한 환경 인자와 PGPB의 접종 방법의 영향을 고찰하였다. PGPB 활용 식물상복원 기술의 혁신을 위해서는 실제 현장에서 PGPB의 거동과 식물-PGPB-자생미생물 사이의 상호작용에 대한 이해가 필요하다.
