Traditional herbal medicine is used extensively among the Korean populations, and other Asian countries employ similar therapies as well In recent years, extensive focus was laid on adulteration of the herbal medicine with heavy metals. This may be mainly due to a soil contamination by an environmental pollution. The objective of this study is to identify the contents of various heavy metals in the blood from OhJeokSan-Decoction (OD) treated-rats. For this study, 13 kinds of metals including essential and heavy metals, i.e. Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se and Zn were analyzed by a slight modification of EPA methods and the following results are obtained. ; 1. There is no significant difference between the OD-treated groups and control group in liver, kidney, bone, brain, weight, food intake. 2. The amount of each metal analyzed in the liver are as follows; Al ; $0.235{\sim}4.215mg/kg$, As ; $0.103{\sim}0.461mg/kg$, Cd ; $0.005{\sim}0.010mg/kg$, Co ; $0.017{\sim}0.046mg/kg$, Cr ; $0.137{\sim}0.403mg/kg$, Cu ; $1.736{\sim}4.827mg/kg$, Fe ; $54.472{\sim}381.447mg/kg$, Hg ; not detected, Mn ; $1.159{\sim}2.803mg/kg$, Ni ; $0.007{\sim}0.095mg/kg$, Pb ; not detected, Se ; $0.682{\sim}1.887mg/kg$, Zn ; $10.213{\sim}26.119mg/kg$, by groups, respectively. In control and other experimental group, several metal (Co, Cu, Mn, Zn, As, Cr) has a significant difference, but in experimental I and other experimental II, III, IV, V groups, there are no significant difference. 3. The amount of each metal analyzed in the kidney are as follows; Al ; $1.712{\sim}31.230mg/kg$, As ; $0.062{\sim}0.439mg/kg$, Cd ; $0.010{\sim}0.062mg/kg$, Co ; $0.000{\sim}0.101mg/kg$, Cr ; $0.125{\sim}0.636mg/kg$, Cu ; $3.385{\sim}12.502mg/kg$, Fe ; $41.148{\sim}99.709mg/kg$, Hg ; $0.000{\sim}0.270mg/kg$, Mn ; $0.433{\sim}2.301mg/kg$, Ni ; $0.000{\sim}0.221mg/kg$, Pb ; $0.000{\sim}0.584mg/kg$, Se ; $0.540{\sim}1.600mg/kg$, Zn ; $8.775{\sim}17.060mg/kg$, by groups, respectively.

The concentration of Se, Cd are variated significantly in control and other experimental groups, and Se is variated significantly in experimental I and other experimental II, III, IV, V groups. 5. Exceptionally several metal concentration is increased or decreased. but there is no significant harmful difference of metal concentration in the liver, kidney and bone, from the OD-treated-rats compared to those of the control group even if higher dosage($1{\sim}8$ times dosage of person) of OD was administered. Thus, it is expected that the herbal decoction in the traditional herbal medicine would not lay any burden on the body and the heavy metal toxins would not affect our physiological system. However, other kinds of herbal treatment, such as i.v. and i.p. should be considered in terms of

In this study, we investigated the atmospheric heavy metal concentrations in the particulate matter inside the subway stations of Seoul. In particular, we examined the correlation between the heavy metals and studied the effect of the heavy metals on cell proliferation. In six selected subway stations in Seoul, particulate matter was captured at the platforms and 11 types of heavy metals were analyzed. The results showed that the mean concentration of iron was the highest out of the heavy metals in particulate matter, followed by copper, potassium, calcium, zinc, nickel, sodium, manganese, magnesium, chromium and cadmium in that order. The correlation analysis showed that the correlations between the heavy metals was highest in the following order: (Cu vs Zn), (Ca vs Na), (Ca vs Mn), (Ni vs Cr), (Na vs Mn), (Cr vs Cd), (Zn vs Cd), (Cu vs Cd), (Ni vs Cd), (Cu vs Ni), (K vs Zn), (Cu vs K), (Cu vs Cr), (K vs Cd), (Zn vs Cr), (K vs Ni), (Zn vs Ni), (K vs Cr), and (Fe vs Cu). The correlation coefficient between zinc and copper was 0.937, indicating the highest correlation. Copper, zinc, nickel, chromium and cadmium, which are generated from artificial sources in general, showed correlations with many of the other metals and the correlation coefficients were also relatively high. The effect of the heavy metals on cell proliferation was also investigated in this study. Cultured cell was exposed to 10 ㎎/l or 100 ㎎/l of iron, copper, calcium, zinc, nickel, manganese, magnesium, chromium and cadmium for 24 hours. The cell proliferation in all the heavy metal-treated groups was not inhibited at 10 ㎎/l of the heavy metal concentration. The only exception to this was with the cadmium-treated group which showed a strong cell proliferation inhibition. This study provides the fundamental data for the understanding of simultaneous heavy metal exposure tendency at the time of particulate matter exposure in subway stations and the identification of heavy metal sources. Moreover, this study can be used as the fundamental data for the cell toxicity study of the subway-oriented heavy metalcontaining particulate matter.

Assessment of heavy metal contamination in sediments along the coast of South Korea using Cs-normalized background concentrations

Song, Yunho,Choi, Man Sik Elsevier 2017 MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN Vol.117 No.1

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>To assess metal contamination in sediments along the entire coastline of South Korea, we estimated the regional background concentrations of metals and assessed the degree of contamination. Major and heavy metal concentrations, grain sizes, and sedimentation rates were analyzed. Regional background concentrations were established by identifying uncontaminated sediments in the cores, using first-order linear regression of background concentration against Cs concentration. The metal contamination of surface sediments was assessed using Korean sediment quality guidelines and a modified geo-accumulation index (I<SUB>geo</SUB> <SUP>⁎</SUP>). In total, 14 sediments exceeded the threshold and probable effects level for Cu, 39 for Zn, and 19 for Pb. Based on I<SUB>geo</SUB> <SUP>⁎</SUP>, most sediments were not contaminated with Cr, Co, or Ni, whereas 31% (Zn), 34% (Cu), and 43% (Pb) in total surface sediments were contaminated with other metals; 14% of total sediments were contaminated with Cu, and those above class 2 were concentrated near industrial and shipyard facilities.</P>

Is Stress Concentration Relevant for Nanocrystalline Metals?

Kumar, Sandeep,Li, Xiaoyan,Haque, Aman,Gao, Huajian American Chemical Society 2011 Nano letters Vol.11 No.6

<P>Classical fracture mechanics as well as modern strain gradient plasticity theories assert the existence of stress concentration (or strain gradient) ahead of a notch tip, albeit somewhat relaxed in ductile materials. In this study, we present experimental evidence of extreme stress homogenization in nanocrystalline metals that result in immeasurable amount of stress concentration at a notch tip. We performed in situ uniaxial tension tests of 80 nm thick (50 nm average grain size) freestanding, single edge notched aluminum specimens inside a transmission electron microscope. The theoretical stress concentration for the given notch geometry was as high as 8, yet electron diffraction patterns unambiguously showed absence of any measurable stress concentration at the notch tip. To identify possible mechanisms behind such an anomaly, we performed molecular dynamics simulations on scaled down samples. Extensive grain rotation driven by grain boundary diffusion, exemplified by an Ashby–Verrall type of grain switching process, was observed at the notch tip to relieve stress concentration. We conclude that in the absence of dislocations, grain realignment or rotation may have played a critical role in accommodating externally applied strain and neutralizes any stress concentration during the process.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/nalefd/2011/nalefd.2011.11.issue-6/nl201083t/production/images/medium/nl-2011-01083t_0006.gif'></P>

전주시내 중고등학교 실내 , 외 환경의 중금속 오염에 대한 연구

조규성 한국환경과학회 2000 한국환경과학회지 Vol.9 No.6

Dust samples were collected from 17 middle and high schools in the Jeonju-city. Heavy metal concentrations were determined for the dry-deposited dusts from indoor and outdoor of classroom and playground of each sampling site. Concentrations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in indoor's dusts were highly concentrated. Also heavy metal concentrations in outdoor's dusts were similar to that of indoor's dusts. Concentrations of Cd, Cu and Zn in the dusts were much higher than the world average contents in soil and environmental orientation value. These levels are similar to those of the dust samples at middle schools located at Kangseo-gu and Yangchon-gu, Seoul. Playground dusts in 6 schools exhibited the enhanced heavy metal pollution with a pollution index (by Kloke) greater than 1.0. Most indoor and outdoor dusts exhibited the enhanced heavy metal pollution with a pollution index (by Culbard et al.) greater than 1.0.

Novel carbon capture and utilization (CCUS) method using electrolysis of concentrated seawater and accelerated mineral carbonation

( Sangmin Lee ),( Soobin Joo ),( Jihyun Chae ),( Heeseong Hwang ) 한국폐기물자원순환학회 2022 ISSE 초록집 Vol.2022 No.-

According to the IPCC (IPCC Special Report, 2018), atmospheric warming should be <2°C to avoid the most severe consequences associated with climate change. The obligation to reduce carbon by the 2050 Carbon Neutrality Declaration, added worldwide, is urgent. The Korean government is making efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by converting to eco-friendly energy and using various carbon capture methods. Among the current CO₂ sequestration methods, a mineral carbonation process requires less area than ocean storage or deep saline aquifer. However, mineral carbonation needs immense energy for mining and crushing ore to provide stable metal sources and alkaline solutions for fixing CO₂. On the other hand, concentrated seawater has various cations like Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, and Na⁺, and it is not necessary for the pretreatment of ore or industry waste like waste concrete, slag, and asbestos. In this study, the concentrated seawater is electrolyzed by membrane electrolysis at low voltage to generate a strong alkali solution and hydrogen gas. The mineral carbonation reactor was supplied by the alkali byproduct of the electrolyzed seawater and a high concentration of alkaline earth metals. To find out operation conditions for optimum mineral carbonation, the types of electrode materials, the strength of applied current density, and the flow rate of an electrolyte were investigated. The pH behavior and CO₂ concentration were continuously monitored by a CO₂ sensor and the amount of CO₂ reduction was calculated by integrating the time-CO₂ graph. In addition, precipitated metal carbonates which are formed by Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, and Na⁺ were analyzed by FE-SEM and EDAX for their crystal structure and morphology. An unexpected result is that precipitation occurred while electrolyzing the concentrated seawater without a CO₂ supply. This might be presumed to be Mg(OH)₂ according to FE-SEM and EDAX results. Thus, an additional step is necessary to solve the consumption of magnesium and alkalinity before mineral carbonation. This method can provide an economical carbon sequestration method that can overcome the drawbacks of classical mineral carbonation. This study proved the potential of CO₂ reduction and valuable precipitated metal carbonates like MgCO₃, CaCO₃, and NaHCO₃ by accelerated mineral carbonation.

This study examined the relationships between the blood heavy metal (Pb, Hg and Cd) concentration and exposure-related factors. The subjects were 2,042 (male: 953, female: 1,089) who were recruited through a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Differences in the concentrations of mercury were observed in males, whereas females showed differences in lead and cadmium. Analyses of the blood concentrations according to body mass index and waist circumference showed significantly higher concentrations of mercury. In males, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol of dyslipidemia was higher than normal in the blood lead concentration. In females, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol of dyslipidemia was higher than normal in the blood lead concentration. The blood lead and cadmium concentrations of male smokers was higher than non-smokers, and cadmium showed the same results in females. The blood lead levels were higher in male alcohol consumers than non-drinkers. The blood concentrations of mercury and cadmium showed significant differences according to household income. Blood concentrations of heavy metals were closely related to exposure-related factors, and age, smoking, drinking alcohols, obesity, hyperlipidemia, and household income were found to be relevant.

Park Yeong-Chul,Park Hae-Mo,Ko Seong-Gyu,Lee Sun-Dong,Park Hong-Duok Korean Society of Environmental Health 2006 한국환경보건학회지 Vol.32 No.3

Various heavy metals have been known for causing ischemic stroke. In order to describe the causative relationship between the blood levels of various heavy metals and stroke patients, 116 patients with stroke and 111 patients without stroke were selected from one Oriental medical hospital in Wonju, Korea. Total of 9 kinds of metals such as As, Cd, Co, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn were analyzed in blood from patients with and without stroke. There were no significant differences in the means of metal concentrations between the stroke and nonstroke patients except for the mean of Co concentration. In the case of Co, the means for stroke and non-stroke patients were 0.44 ug/l and 0.40 ug/l showing a significant difference at the level of p-value=0.05. The odds ratios for each metal ranged from 0.96 to 2.86. Most odds ratios were not significant but the odds ratio for Co, $2.86{\pm}1.49$ was significant, indicating that Co increases the risk of stroke by 2.86 times. In order to identify the specific risk level of stroke increased by a multiple interaction of metals, regression coefficients and odds ratio for a pair or multiple pair of metals were reanalyzed. However, all of regression coefficients and odds ratios were not significant. In conclusion, Co showed the significant level in blood from patients with stroke. In addition, the odds ratio of stroke was significantly different from other metals. Thus, it is considered that Co among various metals analyzed in this study is the important metal for increasing the risk of stroke.
