Abstract
This study was conducted in order to get the scientific background for soil pollution criteria. The 92 soil samples derived from various geological units were taken and analyzed to survey natural heavy metal background levels using aqua regia digestion method and 0.1N HCl extraction method. From these results, the average natural contents of metals were 0.287 mg/kg for Cd, 15.26 mg/kg for Cu, 18.43 mg/kg for Pb, 25.36 mg/kg for Cr, 54.27 mg/kg for Zn, 17.68 mg/kg for Ni, 6.83 mg/kg for As by the aqua regia method, and 0.040 mg/kg for Cd, 0.48 mg/kg for Cu, 3.06 mg/kg for Pb, 0.09 mg/kg for Cr, 1.54 mg/kg for Zn, 0.27 mg/kg for Ni, 0.089 mg/kg for As by the 0.1N HCl extraction method. Ratios of soluble contents and total contents were Cd 0.14, Cu 0.03, Pb 0.17, Cr 0.004, Zn 0.03, Ni 0.02, As 0.013 and the correlation coefficients of soluble contents and total contents were 0.24(As), 0.88(Cd), 0.43(Cr), 0.65(Cu), 0.70(Pb), 0.61(Ni), 0.24(Zn). The correlation factor decreased in the order of Cd > Pb > Cu > Ni > Cr > Zn $\approx$ As.

우리나라 토양 중 중금속 자연배경농도를 비교 평가함으로써 토양오염기준 설정을 위한 과학적 근거를 마련하고자 전국 주요 지질단위인 대동층군, 백악기화강암, 옥천층군, 조선누층군, 평안층군, 경상누층군, 쥬라기화강암, 화산암, 변성암등 산림지역 총 92개 지점에 대한 표토를 0.1N 염산 가용성 시험방법 및 왕수 시험방법으로 분석한 결과, 왕수시험방법에 의한 자연함유량 평균값(mg/kg)은 Cd 0.287, Cu 15.26, Pb 18.43, Cr 25.36, Zn 54.27, Ni 17.68, As 6.83으로 조사되었으며, 가용성 시험결과 평균농도(mg/kg)는 Cd 0.040, Cu 0.48, Pb 3.06, Cr 0.09, Zn 1.54, Ni 0.27, As 0.089로 나타났다. 이들 시료의 가용성 평균 농도는 왕수 시험방법의 평균농도에 비하여 각각 Cd 13.9%, Cu 3.1%, Pb 16.6%, Cr 0.4%, Zn 2.8%, Ni 1.5%, As 1.3% 수준으로 낮게 평가되었다. 또한 가용성 시험방법과 왕수 시험방법에 의한 중금속 측정값 간의 상관계수는 0.24~0.88의 범위로 나타났으며 Cd > Pb > Cu > Ni > Cr > Zn $\approx$ As의 순으로 감소하였다.
