중금속으로 오염된 토양에 콩을 재배하였을 때 토양 중 중금속함량이 콩의 생육 및 중금속흡수에 미치는 영향을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 중금속 오염지역의 콩 생육은 현저히 불량하였고, 토양 중 중금속함량도 월등히 많았다. 2. 중금속 오염지역내에 재배되고 있는 작물별 잎중의 Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, As 등 중금속함량은 콩에서 가장 많았고 다음은 옥수수, 벼 순이었다. 3. 콩의 부위별 중금속함량은 Pb외에 줄기보다 잎에서 많았으며, 원소별로는 Zn > As > Cd > Cu > Pb순이었다. 4. 콩 생육과 토양 중 Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, As함량과는 유의한 부의 상관이 인정되었다. 5. 토양 중 Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, As함량과 콩잎의 Zn, Cd, As함량과 콩줄기의 Pb, Cd, As함량과는 고도의 유의성이 있는것으로 보아 중금속 오염지에서는 식물체에 흡수 축적되는 것으로 생각되었다.
When soybean was cultivated in the polluted soil with heavy metals, the content of these heavy metals affected. The results were summarized as follows. 1. The growth of soybean was remarkably poor and the content of heavy metals in polluted soil were higher than in unpolluted soil. 2. In leaves of all surveyed crops, the content of Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd and As was higher in soybean, followed by corn and rice. 3. Except for Pb, the content of heavy metals in the leaves of soybean was higher than in the stem of soybean, and the components of heavy metals in each part of soybean were shown in order of Zn > As > Cd > Cu > Pb. 4. The relationship between the content of Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, As and the growth of soybean was negatively correlated, respectively. 5. A higher correlation seemed to exist among the content of Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, As in soil, of Zn, Cu and As in soybean leaves, and of Pb, Cd and As in stems of soybean. The results indicated that heavy metals were absorbed and accumulated by plants grown in the polluted area.
