The forest soils of 92 sites in Korea were analyzed to survey heavy metal background levels using aqua regia digestion method and 0.1N HCl extraction method. From these results, the average natural contents of heavy metals were Cd 0.287, Cu 15.26, Pb 18.43, Cr 25.36, Zn 54.27, Ni 17.68mg/kg for aqua regia method, and Cd 0.040, Cu 0.48, Pb 3.06, Cr 0.09, Zn 1.54, Ni 0.27mg/kg for 0.1N HCl extraction method. The range of correlation coefficients between heavy metal contents obtained from two methods(aqua regia and 0.1N HCl) was significant as $0.24{\sim}0.88$, and the correlation coefficients were decreased in order of Cd, Pb, Cu, Ni, Cr, Zn.

본 연구에서는 강우가 석산개발 주변에 위치한 하천의 오염도에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여, 강우량과 중금속 오염도의 관계 및 강우량과 수질 오염도의 관계를 분석하였다. 석산개발 부지 인근의 하천에 대한 중금속 오염도 조사 결과, 매립부지에 사용된 전석, 잔사 및 석분이 직접적인 오염원으로 작용한 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 강우량 증가에 따른 하천 내 유수량이 중금속 오염도에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 수질오염도는 우기철에서 건기철로 변화되는 시기에 증가하였으며, 강우량이 증가하면서 과거 석산개발 부지로부터 많은 부유물질이 배출된 후, 강우가 감소함에 따라 하천에 저류되어 오염도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 S하천에서 지속적인 중금속 오염 및 수질오염이 발생하고 있는 원인으로는 과거 석산개발 완료 후, 매립층에 사용된 재료 및 석산개발 부지에서 오염원이 강우에 의해 배출되는 것으로 판단되었다.

This study was performed to investigate the concentrations of TSP, PM10 and heavy metals(Pb, Cd,Hg, Ni, Zn) of underground parking lots in Taegu city. The samples were collected from 3 department stores and 1 central park in the winter and the summer, 1997. The samples of 3 department stores were divided into sale period and non-sale period in the winter and the summer. The concentrations of TSP and PM10 were 109.6±1.5㎍/㎥ and 93.3±1.5㎍/㎥. In TSP, the zinc was the highest level, 287.16±1.5ng/㎥ and the cadmium was the lowest, 2.4±2.1ng/㎥ and in PM10, the zinc was the highest level, 193.6±1.5ng/㎥ and the cadmium was the lowest, 0.6±3.9ng/㎥. The correlation coefficient between the concentration of TSP and PM10 was 0.982(p<0.05). The correlation coefficients of corresponding heavy metal in TSP and PM10 were 0.863 for lead, 0.617 for mercury, 0.890 for nickel and 0.850 for zinc(p<0.05). The concentrations of TSP, PM10 and cadmium of PM10 in the winter were higher than those of the summer. However, the concentration of Hg of PM10 in the summer was higher than that of the winter. The concentrations of TSP and PM10 in sale period was higher than those of non-sale period and the concentrations of heavy metal in TSP and PM10 were not significantly different between sale and non-sale period. The proportions of PM10 to TSP were above 60% in dust, lead, nickel, and zinc and less than 40% in cadmium and mercury. The concentrations of TSP, PM10 and heavy metal in the underground parking lots were comparatively lower than those of general atmosphere. However, this kind of research to PM10 in the underground parking lots must be continued because it is very important particulate matter that affects human beng's health.

This study selected a representative small arm firing range and analyzed the distribution of heavy metal pollutants such as Pb, Cu, Zn, etc. For this the concentrations of heavy metals in soils, roots and leaves of plants, and water of the small arm firing range were measured. The concentrations of heavy metals in the effluent were also checked during precipitation. The concentration of lead in the samples collected from the top soil(0-5 cm) and sub soil(5-50 cm) near the target in the small arm firing range exceeded the concern level of the Soil Environment Conservation Act of Korea, but not in other soil samples. Plants that grow in soil heavily contaminated with lead showed a high lead concentration, especially in roots. However, the concentration of lead in effluent from the small arm firing range was less than 0.02 ppm. The concentration of copper and zinc in the small arm firing range did not surpass the concern level of the Soil Environment Conservation Act of Korea. Through this study more accurate information on the distribution of heavy metal pollution in the soil of the small arm firing range was obtained. Based on this research, we can conclude that some facility improvements can reduce the spreading of pollutants in the currently used small arm firing range and contribute to the design and operation of advanced small arm firing ranges.

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.

Recent years have seen steadily increasing concerns about human exposure to heavy metals through seafood consumption. In Korea, the diverse dietary patterns of different bivalve shellfish necessitate tissue-specific evaluation of heavy metal contents for risk assessment. We analyzed the heavy metal contents of various tissues in scallops (Patinopecten yessoensis) and pen shells (Atrina pectinate). In both species, we found higher levels of cadmium (Cd) in the mantle than in the adductive muscle, while there was no significant difference between the two tissue types in total mercury (THg) and lead (Pb) (P<0.05). Levels of THg and Pb were acceptable by Korean standards. However, the level of Cd in pen shell mantle tissue exceeded the standard by 40%. The rate of heavy metal exposure from consumption of these species was shown to be 0.003-0.010% of the provisional tolerable weekly intake of THg and 0.312-0.600% of the provisional tolerable monthly intake (PTWI) of Cd as recommended by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives. These findings on the tissue-specific heavy metal contents of these species will be useful in assessing the health risks of Korean dietary habits.

Microstructural analyses of synthetic arsenic-containing heavy metal sludges solidified with Portland cement were performed. Heavy metal sludges containing 0.04M of cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, and arsenic were prepared by sodium hydroxide precipitation and successive vacuum filtration. The sludges mixed with cement were cured for 14 days. The solidified sample was characterized by 1) leaching test, 2) scanning electron microscopy and 3) X-ray diffractometry. Of the metals tested, only Pb concentration in the leachate exceeded the Korean regulatory limit. The level of lead in the leachate was as high as 10 times the regulatory limit. X-ray analysis suggested that the metal hydroxides might be present in complex or impure crystalline phases.

Heavy metal concentration/distribution in sediments and bivalves from the tidal flats in Saemankeum coastal area, western Korea, were investigated, Among 6 sampling sites, S2, S5 and S6 showed the higher levels of Zn, Cr, Ni, Cu and Cd contamination and S1 did the higher level of Pb contamination than other sites, while S-4 showed the lowest levels of these metal contamination. Overally, the levels of Zn, Cu and Pb concentrations in Sinonovacula constricta were estimated to be relatively high. The shell lengths of the collected mussels were linearly related to their dry weights of the whole soft parts, but the mussels collected from S3 were in a poor nutrition, resulting in the distinctively high levels of metal concentrations in the body. It was shown that in S. constricta, Cr, Ni, Cu and Zn are distributed equally into the whole soft parts or a little more into the flesh, after absorption, while Fe, Cd, Pb and Mn are transferred more into the non-flesh parts than into the flesh parts. In S. constricta, the heavy metal concentrations in the flesh increase with those in the whole soft parts. The bioaccumulation factors(heavy metal concentration in S. constricta/heavy metal concentration in sediment) showed that, of the examined metals, Cd is the most cumulative in the body of S. constricta, followed by Zn and Cu, while Mn, Cr, Ni and Pb are not cumulative.

Hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC) is one of the most complicated problem in welding. Huge amount of studies have been done for decades. Based on them, various standards have been established to avoid HAC. But it is still a chronic problem in industrial field. It is well known that the main causes of the hydrogen crack are residual stress, crack susceptible micro structures and a certain critical level of hydrogen concentration. Even though the exact generating mechanism is unclear till today, it has been reported that the hydrogen level in the weld metal should be managed less than a certain amount to prevent it. Matsuda studied that the residual hydrogen level in the weld metal can be varied even if the initial hydrogen content is same. It is also insisted in this report that the residual hydrogen concentration is in stronger correlation with hydrogen crack than the initial hydrogen content. But, in practical point of view, the residual hydrogen is still hard to consider because measuring hydrogen level is time and cost consuming process. In this regard, numerical analysis is the only solution for considering the residual hydrogen content. Meanwhile, Takahashi showed the possibility of predicting the residual hydrogen by a rigorous FE analysis. But, few commercial software suitable for solving the weld metal hydrogen has been reported yet. In this study, two dimensional thermal - hydrogen coupled analysis was developed by using the commercial FE software MARC. Since the governing equation of the hydrogen diffusion is similar to the heat transfer, it is shown that the heat transfer FE analysis in association with hydrogen diffusion property can be used for hydrogen diffusion analysis. A series of simulation was performed to verify the accuracy of the model. For BOP (Bead-On-Plate) and the multi-pass butt welding simulations, remaining hydrogen contents in the weld metal is well matched with measurements which are referred from Kim and Masamitsu.

In order to investigate the level of heavy metal contamination and the seasonal variation of metal concentrations in soils and sediments influenced by past mining activities, tailings, soil and sediment samples were collected from the Hwacheon mine in Korea. The main pollution sources in this mine site are suggested as tailings and mine waste rocks. Elevated levels of Cd, Pb and Zn were found in soils and sediments. In a study of seasonal variation on the heavy metals in soils and sediments, heavy metals were higher enriched collected from before rainy season ($2^{nd}$ sampling) than after rainy season ($1^{st}$ sampling). Also, in order to estimate the microbial effects on Cd speciation in sediments, bacteria which can adsorb Cd was isolated and Cd adsorption characteristics of isolated bacteria in Cd solution was evaluated. The Cd bioremoval efficiency in Cd solution (5 ppm) by bacteria was more than $90\%$. Bioremoval efficiency in single metal solution was higher than that in mixed metal solution of Pb and Zn.
