Abstract

Contaminants in a mining area are spreading to soil, water or plants, directly or indirectly, and they affect the surrounding environment. The risk of these contaminants should be assessed. In the research of environmental pollution, it is important to study the characterization of behavior of harmful heavy metals as well as their bioconcentration factor. In this paper, we discussed the pollutants and their exposure route in soil of the mining area, behavior of pollutants, and bioconcentration factor.

Bioconcentration Factor (BCF)

Soil

광산 지역에서의 오염은 토양, 수계, 농작물 등에 확산되면서 주변 환경에 직간접적으로 영향을 끼치므로 이러한 오염에 대한 위해성을 평가할 필요가 있다. 환경오염 연구에 있어서 유해 중금속의 이동 및 거동 특성 규명뿐만 아니라 중금속의 생물농축계수에 관한 연구도 중요하다. 따라서 광산지역 토양 내의 오염매체와 노출경로, 오염물질의 거동 및 이동, 작물의 전이계수 등을 고찰하였다.
