김기현 교수의 연구실은 토양-식량 시스템 내 중금속 및 플라스틱 오염이 인간 건강에 미치는 영향을 중심으로 연구를 진행하고 있습니다. 특히 중금속의 생물학적 전이 메커니즘과 미세·나노플라스틱이 유해 원소를 어떻게 운반하는지에 대한 환경역학적 기전을 규명하고자 합니다. 이는 지속 가능한 식량 안보와 환경 건강을 확보하기 위한 핵심 과제입니다.

Food security is a high-priority issue for sustainable global development both quantitatively and qualitatively. In recent decades, adverse effects of unexpected contaminants on crop quality have threatened both food security and human health. Heavy metals and metalloids (e.g., Hg, As, Pb, Cd, and Cr) can disturb human metabolomics, contributing to morbidity and even mortality. Therefore, this review focuses on and describes heavy metal contamination in soil-food crop subsystems with respect to
Particulate plastics in the terrestrial and aquatic environments are small plastic fragments or beads (i.e., 5 mm down to the nanometre range). They have been frequently referred to as 'micro-plastics' or 'nano-plastics'. Research has identified particulate plastics as a vector for toxic trace elements in the environment. The adsorption of toxic trace elements by particulate plastics may be facilitated by their high surface area and functionalized surfaces (e.g., through the attachment of natura
