Abstract
The residual Polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs) in the sediment of the Kumho River basin were measured because the Nakdong River was considered to be affected by the environmental quality of Kumho River. PCBs in the sediment were chlorinated and converted into Decachlorinated biphenyl(DCB) which showed the single peak in the GC-ECD chromatogram. The detectable concentrations of PCBs was 0.5ng/g in the sediment. PCBs in the 21 sediment samples was of Kumho River located at 7.5km from conjunction of Nakdong River were not detected from 100 samples. 49% of samples was showed lower than 50ng/g, and 9% did more than 400ng/g. The mean of PCBs concentrations was 131ng/g. The means of COD and organic carbon were 14.5mg/g and 3.41%, respectively. The relationship between PCBs were concentration and the distance from conjunction with Nakdong River was not significant. The concentration of PCBs were varied with the depth of the sediment down to the 250cm depth. The concentrations of PCBs in the depth 0-20cm and 50-90cm were higher than the mean concentration of PCBs. Along the cross of the stream, the concentrations of PCBs were 142ng/g at the center and 126 and 131ng/g at the river sides.
낙동강의 수질에 큰 영향을 미치는 금호강 하류 하상에서의 저니토 중 PCBs 잔류량을 조사할 필요가 있다. 따라서 금호강과 낙동강 합류점으로부터 7.5km까지의 금호강 하상저니토 중 PCBs의 잔류량을 평가하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, PCBs가 염소화되어 DCB로 전환되었으며, DCB의 최소검출량은 2pg이었고, 저니토 중 PCBs의 최저 검출농도는 0.5ng/g이었다. 둘째, 시료 100점에 대한 PCBs의 검출빈도는 79%였다. 전체 시료에서 50ng/g이하인 시료가 49%였으며 400ng/g이상인 시료가 9%였다. 셋째, PCBs농도는 금호강과 낙동강의 합류점으로부터 7.5km까지의 거리에서는 큰 변화가 없었다. 넷째,
