Abstract
Trifluralin was selected to study the leaching potentials related to the pollution on Commerce silty clay loam soil near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA. The batch equilibrium of trifluralin resulted in the Koc value of 875. When the soil columns(5.4 cm i.d. ${\times}$ 26 cm length) were leached with three pore volumes of water, the distributions of trifluralin in soil and leachate were 99.993% and 0.007% of the total recoveries, respectively. When applied at the rate of 1,683 g/ha in the field, the amount of trifluralin within the $0{\sim}10$ cm soil depth was 96.9% of that within the $0{\sim}60cm$ soil depth 31 days after application. The concentrations of trifluralin detected in 1- and 2m- depth wells during 62 days after application ranged from 0.04 ng/mL to 0.08 ng/mL, which were lower than 2.0 ng/mL of the U.S. EPA advisory levels for drinking water. Trifluralin was strongly adsorbed on soil and hardly reached ground water. The leaching properties of trifluralin in the fields were predicted and concurred with those in the columns.
Commerce silty clay loam 토양에서 제초제 trifluralin의 용탈을 조사하였다. Trifluralin의 Koc값은 875이었다. 토양 컬럼(5.4 cm i.d. ${\times}$ 26 cm length)을 이용한 용탈실험에서, 3배의 pore부피에 해당하는 물로 trifluralin을 침출 할 경우, 토양 층에는 99.993%이었고, 0.007%의 미량만 침출수로 침출 되었다. 야외포장 실험에서는 미국 Louisiana Baton Rouge에 있는 포장에 trifluralin을 1683g/ha 살포하였다. 처리 31일 후, 0-60cm 토양 층에 있는 trifluralin 전체 량의 96.9%가 0-10cm 토양 층에 분포되었다. 또한, 62일 후 1m 및 2m 지하수에서 trifluralin의 농도는 0.04-0.08ng/mL이었다. 이는 미국 EPA의 음용수 중 trifluralin의 허용농도인 2.0ng/mL보다 낮았다. Trifluralin은 토양에 강하게 흡착되었기 때문에 토양 column 및 야외 포장에서의 침출량은 매우 적었으며, 토양 column 및 야외 포장에서의 결과는 일치하였다.
