Abstract

Three hundred sixty-eight samples of domestic PVC food packaging were analyzed fir DEHP(di-(2-ethyhexyl) phthalate) used in plasticizer by GC/FID and GC/MSD. The number of samples collected were 47(2000), 143(2001), 88(2002) and 89(2004) from local markets in Gyeonggi-Do. In $2000\∼2001$, DEHP was highly detected in 86 out of 190 samples and the level of DEHP were ranged from 1.3 g/kg to 82.8 g/kg. In 2002, meanwhile, DEHP was detected in 8 out ot 88 samples and the level of DEHP were shown to from 1.3 g/kg to 51.5 g/kg. In 2004, DEHP was detected in only one out of 89 samples and the amount was 30.5 g/kg. As a result of this study, it was made clear that the detection rates of DEHP in PVC food packaging were rapidly decrease every year.

DEHP는 PVC의 유연성 등을 향상시키기 위해 첨가되는 가소제로서 우리나라에서는 식품용 PVC제조시 사용을 금지하고 있으나 주변 환경으로부터 쉽게 오염될 수 있고 동일한 설비로 여러 용도의 PVC를 생산할 경우 혼입될 우려가 있어 안전성 확보가 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 유통 제품에 대한 모니터링을 위하여 2000년부터 2004년까지(2003년 제외)경기도내에서 유통되고 있는 PVC 식품포장제를 대상으로 재질에 함유된 DEHP함량을 분석하였다. 2000년에는 총 47건 중 30건($63.8\%$)에서 $5.5\∼80.6\;g/kg$의 DEHP가 검출되어 유통 제품 대부분이 DEHP를 사용하고 있었으며 검출된 제품은 대부분 한과류 용기로 나타났다. 2001년의 경우 DEHP검출 제품은 143건 중 56건($39.2\%$)으로 $1.3\∼82.8$ G/kg의 함량범위를 보였고 2000년과 마찬가지로 대부분 한과류 용기에서 DEHP가 검출 되었다. 2002년에는 88건 중 8건($9.1\%$)에서 $1.3\∼51.5$ G/kg의 범위로 DEHP가 검출되었고, 2004년에는 89건 중 1건 ($1.1\%$)에서 30.5 g/kg의 DEHP가 검출되었다. DEHP 검출을은 2000년 $63.8\%$, 2001년 $39.2\%$, 2002년 $9.1\%$, 2004년 $1.1\%$로 매년 급격하게 감소하였다. 이는 유통 PVC식품포장재에 대한 지속적인 수거$\cdot$검사와 제조업체에 대한 관리로 DEHP사용이 크게 개선되었기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.
