Abstract

Several physicochemical properties such as water solubility, vapor pressure, hydrolysis and octanol/water partition coefficient(Kow) of flupyrazofos, the first organophosphorus insecticide developed in Korea, were measured based on EPA and OECD methods. Water solubility was low showing 0.80 ppm at $25^{\circ}C$ and in hydrolysis study, half-life at $25^{\circ}C$ was 266.5 hr(pH 4.0), 180.0 hr(pH 7.0) and 120.9 hr(pH 9.0) demonstrating instability in alkaline solution. At $40^{\circ}C$ hydrolysis rate was $2{\sim}4$ times higher than that at $25^{\circ}C$. The equation log P=0.673-(1565.4/T) was obtained from vapor pressure experiments at three different temperatures (25, 35, $45^{\circ}C$) and $2.81{\times}10^{-5}$ torr was obtained at $25^{\circ}C$. This value is similar to that of diazinon and 1,000 times lower than that of DDVP suggesting it would not give environmental contamination by volatilization. High log Kow(5.24) was observed and this might result in bioconcentration through food chain. However, its possibility is not likely to be high due to its relatively rapid hydrolysis.

국내에서 최초로 합성, 개발된 유기인계 살충제인 flupyrazofos(KH-502)의 물리화학적 특성으로 수용성, 가수분해, 증기압, 분배계수를 EPA와 OECD 방법에 준하여 측정하였다. 수용성은 $25^{\circ}C$에서 0.80 ppm으로 낮았고 가수분해 반감기는 $25^{\circ}C$에서 266.5시간(pH 4.0), 180.0시간(pH 7.0), 120.9시간(pH 9.0)으로 알칼리 조건에서 불안정하였으며 $40^{\circ}C$에서는 $25^{\circ}C$보다 $2{\sim}4$배 정도 가수분해가 빠르게 진행되었다. 상은($25^{\circ}C$)에서의 증기압은 $2.81{\times}10^{-5}$ torr로 측정되었고, 다른 두 온도(35, $45^{\circ}C$)에서 증기압을 측정하여 log P=0.673-(1565.4/T)라는 관계식을 구하였다. Flupyrazofos의 상온($25^{\circ}C$)에서의 증기압은 diazinon과 유사한 수준이었고, DDVP보다는 약 1,000배 정도 낮은 수치로 휘발에 의하여 환경에 영향을 미칠 가능성은 낮을 것으로 판단되었다. Flupyrazofos의 옥탄올/물 분배계수치를 보면(log Kow=5.24) 먹이연쇄를 통한 생물농축이 예상되나 비교적 가수분해가 빠르기 때문에 비록 수계에 노출된다고 하여도 그 가능성은 매우 낮을 것으로 사료된다.
