Abstract
Two different experiments, adsorption/desorption and runoff by rainfall simulation of four pesticides, such as alachlor, ethalfluralin, ethoprophos and pendimethalin were undertaken their runoff and erosion losses from sloped land and to assess the influence of their properties and environmental factors on them. The mobility of four pesticides and which phase they were transported by were examined in adsorption study, and the influence of rainfall pattern and sloping degree on the pesticide losses were evaluated in simulated rainfall study. Freundlich adsorption parameters (K) by the adsorption and desorption methods were 1.2 and 2.2 for ethoprophos, 1.5 and 2.6 for alachlor, respectively. And adsorption distribution coefficients (Kd) by the adsorption and desorption methods were 56 and 94 for ethalfluralin, and 104 and 189 for pendimethalin, respectively. K or Kd values of pesticides by the desorption method which were desorbed from the soil after thoroughly mixing, were higher than these ones by the adsorption method which pesticides dissolved in water were adsorbed to the soil. Another parameter (1/n), representing the linearity of adsorption, in Freundlich equation for the pesticides tested ranged from 0.96 to 1.02 by the desorption method and from 0.87 to 1.02 by the adsorption method. Therefore, the desorption method was more independent from pesticide concentration in soil solution than the adsorption method. By Soil Survey and Land Research Center (SSLRC)'s classification for pesticide mobility, alachlor and ethoprophos were classified into moderately mobile $(75{\leq}Koc<500)$, and ethalfluralin and pendimethalin were included to non-mobile class (Koc > 4000). Runoff and erosion loss of pesticides by three rainfall scenarios were from 1.0 to 6.4% and from 0.3 to 1.2% for alachlor, from 1.0 to 2.5% and from 1.7 to 10.1% for ethalfluralin, from 1.3 to 2.9% and from 3.9 to 10.8% for pendimethalin, and from 0.6 to 2.7% and from 0.1 % 0.3% for ethoprophos, respectively. Distribution of pesticides in soil profile were investigated after the simulated rainfall study. Alachlor and ethoprophos were leached to from 10 to 15 cm of soil layer, but ethalfluralin and pendimethalin were mostly remained at the top 5 cm of soil profile. The losses of the pesticides at 30% of sloping degree were from 0.2 to 1.9 times higher than those at 10%. The difference of their runoff loss was related with their concentration in runoff water while the difference of their erosion loss must be closely related with the quantity of soil eroded.
강우에 의한 경사지 토양으로부터의 농약 유출양상을 파악하고 그에 대한 농약의 특성, 환경적 요인 및 영농방법 등의 영향 정도를 평가하기 위하여 토양흡착실험과 인공강우유출실험을 수행하였다. 흡착실험을 수행하여 농약의 이동 가능성과 이동형태를 파악하고 인공강우시설을 이용한 유출실험으로 강우양상 및 경사도의 영향 정도를 파악하여 농약의 표면유출에 의한 유실 수준을 평가하고자 하였다. 각 농약의 Freundlich 흡착계수 K는 ethoprophos $1.2{\sim}2.2$, alachlor $1.5{\sim}2.6$, ethalfluralin $56{\sim}94$ 및 pendimethalin $104{\sim}189$ 순이었다. 일반적인 흡착실험 방법인 용액에 존재하는 농약을 토양에 흡착시키는 방법보다 농약을 토양에 혼화처리한 후 탈착시키는 방법에서 흡착계수 값이 높았고, Freundlich 등온흡착식의 직선성을 나타내는 1/n 값은 탈착방법의 경우 $0.96{\sim}1.02$이었고 흡착방법의 경우는 $0.87{\sim}1.02$로 나타나 탈착방법에 의한 흡착계수 측정방법이 물질의 처리농도에 의하여 영향을 적게 받는 것으로 확인되었다. 영국 SSLRC의 이동성 분류기준으로 판단하면 alachlor와 ethoprophos는 moderately mobile$(75{\leq}Koc<500)$ 등급에 해당하였으며, ethalfluralin 및 pendimethalin은 Koc 4000을 초과하여 non-mobile 등급에 속하였다. 인공강우 처리구의 유출수 및 유실토양에 의한 농약 유실율은 각각 alachlor $1.0{\sim}6.4%$ 및 $0.3{\sim}1.2%,\;ethalfluralin\;1.0{\sim}2.5%$ 및 $1.7{\sim}10.1%,\;pendimethalin\;1.3{\sim}2.9%$ 및 $3.8{\sim}10.8%,\;ethoprophos\;0.6{\sim}2.7%$ 및 $0.1{\sim}0.3%$이었다. 인공강우실험 후 공약의 토심별 분포를 살펴 본 결과 alachlor와 ethopropho는 토심 $10{\sim}15cm$까지 이동하였고, ethalfluralin과 pendimethalin는 대부분 토심 5 cm 이내에 잔류하였다. 경사도 30%의 경우가 10%에 비하여 각 농약의 유실량이 $0.2{\sim}1.9$ 배 증가하였는데 유출수에 의한 농약의 유실량 차이는 유출수 중 농도 차이로 판단되며, 유실토양에 의한 농약 유실량 차이는 토양 유실량과 관계되는 것으로 생각되었다. 농약의 강우에 의한 유실은 복잡하게 작용하는 많은 환경적 요인에 의하여 영향을 받지만 정교하게 구성된 환경 시나리오에 의하여 예측 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.
