생물 발광 생산 균주, Escherichia coli DH5 RB1436를 이용하여 고형환경 시료에 대한 독성 방법을 개발하고 적용하였다. 토양과 균주의 비율은 1 : 4(w/v) 정도가 적절하였으며, 측정 방법의 간편성을 고려하여 가열 감량된 토양 첨가군 대신에 동일한 부피의 인산염 완충액 첨가군을 고형시료 독성의 대조군으로 정하였다. 토양측정망 시료중 대체적으로 오염원 농도가 상대적으로 높은 그룹과 낮은 그룹의 독성은 각 43과 26%로 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내었다. 토양 그룹들의 $EC_{50}$는 범위가 $1.8{\sim}4.6\;g$으로 조사된 반면에, 댐저수지 퇴적물과 매립물들은 모두 0.22 g 보다 낮게 조사되었다. 상이한 고형환경 시료에 대해 뚜렷한 독성 차이를 나타낸 본 생물검정법은 다양한 환경 시료의 독성을 평가하는 유용한 방법으로 사용할 수 있을 것이다.

BACKGROUND: Increase of heavy metals in agricultural ecosystem has become a social issue nationwide as it is related to public health. This review was performed to find out more systematic and integrated future researches on heavy metals using up to date articles published in the Korean journals related to agricultural environment. METHODS AND RESULTS: Researches on heavy metals in agricultural soils and plant uptake were categorized by the establishment of criteria, analytical methods, monitoring, management of source, characteristics and behavior in soil, plant uptake, bioavailability affecting physico -chemical properties in soil, risk assessment and soil remediation. In the early 1990s, the monitoring for heavy metals in soil has been widely performed. Accumulation of heavy metals in contaminated soil and availability to plants has also attracted interests to study the soil remediation using various physico-chemical methods. The phytoavailability and phytotoxicity of heavy metals have been mainly studied to assess the safety of agro-products using risk assessment techniques in the 2000s. CONCLUSION: Future direction of research on heavy metal in agricultural environment must be carried out by ensuring food safety and sustainability. A steady survey and proper management for polluted regions should be continued. Law and regulation must be modified systematically. Furthermore, studies should expand on mitigation of heavy metal uptake by crops and remediation of polluted fields.

MTBE and other gasoline additives contained in gasoline are known to be a refractory substance resistant to biodegradation. As a method of removing these substances, a research of method using native microbes of polluted soil was progressed and among these, bio-degradation possibility under aerobic condition was evaluated. All of the experiments were progressed based on batch experiment of lab scale and analyzed by GC-FID using HS-SPME technique. The result of bio-degradation experiment based on MTBE and other additives(ETBE, TAME) was observed below 1 mg/L, which initial concentration were 100 mg/L for each method. And through production of by-product and CO2, partial mineralization was confirmed. Degradation velocity of each additive was promptly represented in the order of TBA>ETBE>MTBE>TAME. Through this study, bio-degradation possibility of native microbes of oil polluted soil, MTBE and other gasoline additives was confirmed and it was considered that the result could be used for basic experiment data in removing oil pollutants of soil.

This study is for extent of polluted area by acid mine drainage from the Daeseong coal mine, Keumsan. Black shales of the Changri Formation containing the Daeseong coal mine are geochemically similar to those from the North America as well as Europe. Comparing with geochemical compositions and relative ratios, coal bearing and non-coal bearing soils are similar to the stream sediments influenced and not influnced by the acid mine drainage, respectively. These characteristics suggest that acidification of the soils and of the stream sediments are related to the the coal bearing black shale. Soil waters beneath the coal bearing soil have low pH and high cation contents than those beneath non-coal bearing soil, suggestive of extractions of cations with increasing oxidizations within the soils. Surface waters show that those influenced by the acid mine drainage are low pH, and have high $SO_4{^{2-}}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, Mn and slightly lower DO, suggesting that heavy pollutions have been progressed in these area. Geochemical comparisons between the polluted surface water and adjacent black shales suggest that pollutions of the surface water are related to the black shales.

경상북도내의 금속광산, 공장 및 공업, 일반폐기물, 공단주거지역 및 특수 용수사용지역 등 360곳의 토양을 2001년 3월부터 10월가지 채취하여 토양 오염도를 조사하였다. 토양 오염도는 중금속인 카드뮴, 구리, 비소, 수은, 납, 6가 크롬 및 시안의 7개 항목을 대상으로 하였으며, 그 중 각 항목에서 가장 오염도가 심한 5개 지점을 대상으로 토양내 곤충병원성 선충의 분포를 조사하였다. 토양내 선충은 누에를 이용하여 곤충병원성, 사물기생성 선충을 대상으로 하였으며, white trap을 설치하여 선충을 분리하였다. 카드뮴오염이 0.870ppm 이하인 지역에서 Rhabditida목 선충 2과가 확인되었으며, 비소에 오염된 토양에서는 0.745ppm이하에서 Rhabditidae과 선충이 확인되었다. 6가 크롬은 0.05ppm 이하인 토양에서 Cylindrocorpidae과 선충이 확인되었고, 납과 구리, 시안 오염 지역에서는 오염농도와 관계없이 Rhabditidae목 선충 2과가 검출되었다. 그러나, 시안에 오염된 토양과 토양오염우려기준을 초과한 토양에서는 선충이 검출되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 오염지역내 선충의 분포 밀도는 매우 낮거나 존재하지 않는 것으로 확인되며 토양의 오염은 선충의 생존에 불리한 환경으로 작용하는 것으로 보인다.

The frequency analysis and the probability plot were applied to heavy metal contents of soils collected from the Goseong Cu mine area as a statistic method for the determination of the threshold value which was able to partition a population comprising largely dispersed heavy metal contents into the background and the anomalous populations. Almost all the heavy metal contents of soil showed a positively skewed distributions and their cumulative percentage frequencies plotted as a curved lines on logarithmic probability plot which represent a mixture of two or more overlapping populations. Total Cu, Pb and Cd data and extractable Cu and Pb data could be partitioned into background and anomalous populations by using the inflection in each curve. The others showed a normally distributed population or an largely overlapped populations. The threshold values obtained from replotted frequency distributions with the partitioned populations were Cu 400 mg/kg, Pb 450 mg/kg and Cd 3.5 mg/kg in total contents and Cu 40 mg/kg and Pb 12 mg/kg in extractable contents, respectively. The thresholds for total contents are much higher than the tolerable level of soil pollution proposed by Kloke(Cu 100 mg/kg, Pb 100 mg/kg, Cd 3 mg/kg), but those for extractable contents are not exceeded the worrying level of soil pollution proposed by Ministry of Environment(Cu 50 mg/kg, Pb 100 mg/kg). When the threshold values were used as the criteria of soil pollution in the study area, $9{\sim}19%$ of investigated soil population was in polluted level. The spatial distributions of heavy metal contents greater than threshold values showed that polluted soils with heavy metals are restricted within the mountain soils in the vicinity of abandoned mines.

This study was conducted to investigate the tolerance of some resistant fungal strains from soils contaminated with heavy metals. Various fungal strains were isolated from soil samples collected from studied sites which heavy metals and other pollutants have been emitted in effluents for several years. Fungi isolated belong to different genera; however, Penicillium spp. showed the most frequent species. The microbial number was remarkably higher in the control soil than contaminated soil samples collected from mining areas. $Pb^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ had the highest concentration in the polluted soils ranging from 89 - 3,521 ppm and 98 - 4,383 ppm, respectively. The minimum inhibition concentrations (MICs) of $Pb^{+2}$ and $Zn^{+2}$ showed the highest values against the fungal strains. $Ni^{+2}$ and $Co^{+2}$ were the lowest contaminants in the polluted soils with the concentration of 5 to 12.1 ppm and 1.8 to 4.8 ppm, respectively. The tested resistant strains showed the strongest inhibition for $Ni^{+2}$ and $Co^{+2}$ up to 200-400 ppm. Cadmium was the most highly toxic heavy metal for most of strains, however, 1 mM of $Cr^{3+}$, $Cu^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$ accelerated the growth of Penicillium verrucosum KNU3. $Cu^{+2}$ and $Zn^{+2}$ at concentration of 1 mM did not affect the growth rate P. funiculosum KNU4. Tolerance of fungal species to heavy metals appears to be strain and origin dependent.

Although the Dongjin Au-Ag-Cu mine had been abandoned since about forty years ago, the results of this study on the dispersion patterns and contamination level of heavy metals in the hydrologic system flowing via the waste rump show that the environmental impacts from the mine wastes are still significant. The stream water in the vicinity of the waste rump is severely acidified (pH 3.8 to 4.4) and highly enriched in various dissolved heavy metals. The heavy metal contents of the stream water and stream sediments are systematically attenuated with increasing distance from the mine area. However, it is worth to note that continuous attenuation of heavy metal contents in both media were reenriched in downstream area more than 800 m apart from the mine because it can be acted as a secondary source of heavy metal pollution. The heavy metals, especially Cd, Cu and Zn of polluted downstream sediments mainly occur in Fe-Mn oxides and organic materials, which indicates that these elements are the main pollutants from the waste rump of the Dongjin mine. The heavy metal contents of crops, such as sesame, perilla, red Pepper and brown rice, collected from the polluted farm land in the downstream area are lower than those of land plants from stream sides, but significantly higher in Cd, Cr, Cu and Zn than those from the unpolluted farm land. Especially, almost all of the crops in polluted farm land have been severly contaminated by Cd (>0.4 ppm). On the other hand, the heavy metal contents of the crops collected from refreshed farm land by means of a soil addition method shows significantly lowered level comparing with those of polluted area, which indicates that a soil addition method was effective for the refreshment of polluted farm land by toxic metallic pollutants. Wormwoods from this area showed very high contents in a11 the heavy metals even in unpolluted area (Cd > 1 ppm, Cr > 1 ppm, Cu > 11 ppm, Pb> 4 ppm, Zn > 55 ppm), indicating that a special caution must be payed when one takes ingest them.

각기 다른 경로로 카드뮴에 오염된 두 토양에서 카드뮴을 중성인 물과 황산 수용액으로 용출하여 보았다. 토양은 자연에서 오랫동안 오염된 금속 폐 광산 토양과 한편으로는 오염되지 않은 토양을 인공적으로 오염시킨 것 두 가지를 재료로 사용하였다. 실험결과, 높은 카드뮴 농도에도 불구하고 자연오염 토양의 경우 추출용매가 물인 경우에는 카드뮴이 거의 용출되지 않았고 산 용액에서는 상대적으로 낮은 농도의 카드뮴이 꾸준히 용출되었다. 이에 반하여 인공오염토양의 경우 카드뮴의 용출량이 많아, 현실적으로 공장부지 등지에서 급격히 오염된 토양에는 산성비가 내릴 경우 카드뮴이 지하수를 오염시킬 위험성이 금속 폐광산등 자연적으로 오염된 토양에서보다 상대적으로 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 특히 중성인 물에서도 인공오염토양 내 카드뮴의 초기 용출량이 크게 나타났는데, 이것은 공단부지 등에서 상대적으로 토양의 카드뮴 오염이 빠르게 진행된 지역의 지하수 등이 카드뮴 오염에 상대적으로 크게 노출되어 있음을 의미한다.
