Investigation of Soil Texture around Livestock Burial site - Chung-buk North Area in Korea -

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

These days, animal infectious disease such as AI(Avian Influenza) and FMD(Foot-and-Mouth Disease) breaks out, and increase the number of its occurrence. Offered in "An animal disease prevention" of Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry that to do killed caused livestock order to prevent diffuse pollution of the epidemic when an animal disease has happened. Accordingly, in Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry set up the "Emergency Action Guide", it suggests the emergency cation, disposal method(stamping out, incineration, burying method), disposal method of livestock excretions in the area of origin. Also, the department of the environment makes the livestock burial regional environmental research guidelines, it order to investigate the surround environment, water quality in monitoring well, environment management and so on. In korea, this was the first time confirmed that the foot-and-mouth disease occurred in 1934. The leachate buried underground of livestock is organic waste water and it has been arranged nutrient salts such as nitrogen, phosphorus. So, there is a possibility that can lead to a variety of environmental problems when it can result in river pollution, ground water pollution and soil pollution. Look at domestic and foreign research trend leachate behavior such as contamination analysis through physicochemical properties or physicochemical analysis of the leachate components have been identified and carried out. Because of the leak of the leachate, there is a possibility about the around soil pollution. Thus, we studied that investigation of soil texture around livestock burial site in chung-buk north area of korea. From the result, surface soil was loam and subsoil was clay loam soil in 35% of survey site. In the future, this result will be a important basis data for correlation of leachate leak and consequential soil texture.
