Abstract

To estimate annual pollutant loading rate of n-hexane extractable material (HEM) to soil 84 sewage sludge samples were analyzed. The average content of HEM was 27.7$\pm$26.5 g/kg, and ranged from 1.05 to maximum 194 g/kg. According to the number of population of the city the areas were classified as five regions, i.e. big, large, middle, small, and rural area in which the waste water treated plants were grown. The contents of HEM were 22.7$\pm$16.7, 33.3$\pm$25.8, 22.0$\pm$8.7, 31.0$\pm$38.8, 27.7$\pm$25.1 g/kg, in big, large, middle, small, and rural area, respectively. The applicated areas with sewage sludge to land also were divided as 4 sites by US EPA criteria such as agricultural, forest, public contact sites, and reclamation site. The quantitation of annual pollutant loading rate was estimated using a function (99 percentile concentration = $\bar{X}$ + 3$\sigma$) when the application amounts were in dosages of 7,000, 26,000, 18,000, 74,000 kg/ha in 5 regions, respectively. The annual pollutant loading rate of HEM to soil by sewage sludge application was maximum 1,032, 3,832, 2,653, and 10,908 kg/ha in agricultural, forest, public contact sites, and reclamation site, respectively.

하수슬러지 중에 존재하는 HEM에 대해 분석하고, 이를 토양에 사용할 때 발생하는 연간 오염부하량에 대해 추정하였다. 전국의 하수처리장에서부터 수집된 하수슬러지 시료 84점에 대해 분석한 HEM의 평균함량은 27.7$\pm$26.5 g/kg이었고, 최소 1.05에서 최대 194 g/kg을 나타내어 분석시료간에 큰 편차를 보였다. 하수처리장이 위치한 도시의 규모에 따라 5단계로 나누었을 때 HEM의 함량은 광역시, 대도시, 중도시, 소도시, 농촌지역에 각각 22.7$\pm$6.7, 33.3$\pm$25.8, 22.0$\pm$8.7, 31.0$\pm$38.8, 27.7$\pm$25.1 g/kg을 나타내었다. 미국 EPA의 하수슬러지 토양시용량 기준을 적용하여 농경지, 산림, 공공용지, 개량용지로 분류하고 각각 7,000, 26,000, 18,000, 74,000 kg/ha (건물량 기준)를 하수슬러지 최대 사용량으로 가정하여 HEM의 연간 오염부하량을 계산하였다. 건물량 기준으로 시용량이 7,000 kg/ha인 농경지의 경우 최대 1,032 kg/ha의 HEM 부하량을 나타내었고, 개량용지 시용기준인 74,000 kg/ha를 적용한 경우 HEM의 연간 오염부하량은 10,908 kg/ha으로 추정되었다. 그 외 산림기준을 적용할 때는 최대 3,832 kg/ha, 공공용지 기준을 적용할 때는 최대 2,653 kg/ha의 연간 오염부하량이 추정되었다.
