Abstract

This study presents lead and cadmium concentrations in livers, kidneys and bones of Korean wild birds during 2000$\sim$2002. The number of sample sizes was Ciconiiformes (n=10), Anseriformes (n=3), Falconiformes (n=7), Charadriiformes (n=8), Columbiformes (n=2) and Passeriformes (n=6). Lead concentrations in livers were Charadriiformes

본 연구는 2000$\sim$2002년 사이에 우리나라에서 사망한 야생조류의 간, 신장 그리고 뼈에서의 납과 카드뮴 농도를 분석하였다. 연구에 이용된 시료는 황새목(n=10), 기러기목 (n=3), 매목 (n=7), 도요목 (n=8), 비둘기목 (n=2) 그리고 참새목 (n=6)이었다. 간에서 납 농도는 도요목<기러기목<황새목<매목<참새목<비둘기목의 순이었다. 매목을 제외한 모든 목에서 뼈에서의 납 농도가 간에서의 납 농도보다 높았다. 본 결과는 우리나라 야생조류의 납 농도는 급성 오염이 아니라 만성적인 오염을 나타내는 것이다. 그리고 모든 조류의 간과 신장에서의 납 농도는 야생조류의 background level과 exposed level의 범위였다. 간에서의 카드뮴 농도는 도요목<황새목<기러기목<매목<참새목<비둘기목의 순이었다. 황새목, 기러기목, 매목과 참새목은 신장에서의 농도가 간에서의 농도보다 높았지만 도요목은 그렇지 않았다. 도요목을 제외한 모든 조류에서 카드뮴오염은 급성오염이 아닌 만성오염으로 생각된다. 본 연구에서 우리나라 야생조류의 카드뮴 농도는 대부분 background level이었지만 왜가리 1개체와 바다쇠오리 7개체는 toxic level이었다.
