Abstract

Octachlorostyrene (OCS) is a persistant and bioaccumulative toxic subtance (PBTs). In this study, acute toxicity tests on algae, daphnia and fish for octachlorostyrene and its isomers were done to determine effective concentration ($EC_{50}$), Lethal concentration ($LC_{50}$), no observed effect concentration (NOEC) or lowest observed effect concentration (LOEC). As a result, NOEC on algae growth inhibition test for octacholorostyrene and 2-, 3-chlorostyrene was determined as $0.50\;mg\;L^{-1}$, and NOEC for 4-chlorostyrene was determined as $0.13\;mg\;L^{-1}$. NOEC on daphnia, acute immobilisation test for octachlorostyrene and 2-, 3-chlorostyrene was determined as $5.00\;mg\;L^{-1}$ and $EC_{50}$ for 4-chlorostyrene was determined as $2.128\;mg\;L^{-1}$. NOEC on Oryzias Latipes, acute toxicity test for octachlorostyrene was determined as $80.0\;mg\;L^{-1}$ and NOEC for 2-, 3-chlorostyrene was determined as $60.0\;mg\;L^{-1}$. $LC_{50}$ for 4-chlorostyrene was determined as $39.0\;mg\;L^{-1}$ (48h) and $22.6\;mg\;L^{-1}$ (96h).

옥타클로르스티렌은 환경중에서 잔류성이 높고 분해되지 않아 고농도로 축적될 뿐만아니라독성이 매우 높은물질군을 일컫는 PBTs(Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic Substances) 화합물로서 분류된다. 본 연구에서는 PBTs 화합물군에 속하는 옥타클로르스티렌과 그 이성체를 대상으로 환경위해성평가의 기초자료를 만들기 위하여 환경생물인 조류, 물벼룩 및 어류 등 먹이연쇄상의 생물종에 대해 급성독성시험을 통해 반수영향농도($EC_{50}$, Effective Concentration), 반수치사농도($LC_{50}$, Lethal Concentration), 최대무영향농도(NOEC, No Observed Effect Concentration) 또는 최소영향농도(LOEC, Lowest Observed Effect Concentration)등을 산출하였다. 그 결과 옥타클로르스티렌 및 2-, 3-chlorostrene의 조류에 대한 성장저해 무영향농도는 $0.5\;mg\;L^{-1}$로 산출되었고, 4-chlorostyrene의 조류에 대한 성장저해 무영향농도는 $0.13\;mg\;L^{-1}$로 산출되었다. 담수무척추동물인 물벼룩에 대한 급성유영저해시험결과 옥타클로르스티렌 및 2-, 3-chlorostrene의 무영향농도는 $5\;mg\;L^{-1}$로 산출되었고,4-chlorostrene의 $EC_{50}$ 값은 $2.128\;mg\;L^{-1}$로 산출되었다. 또한 담수어류인 송사리를 대상으로 실시한 급성어독성시험결과, 옥타클로르스티렌의 무영향농도는 $80\;mg\;L^{-1}$, 2-, 3-chlorostyrene의 무영향농도는 $60\;mg\;L^{-1}$로 산출되었고 4-chlorostyrene은 $LC_{50}$값은 $39.0\;mg\;L^{-1}$(48 시간), $22.6\;mg\;L^{-1}$(96 시간)로 산출되었다.
