Abstract

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCBs) are bioaccumulative chemicals that are considered to be toxic contaminants based on several epidemiological studies. These chemicals in colostrum were investigated and estimated for their residual consistencies by maternal characteristics like parity and maternal ages. Test subjects were healthy primipara and multipara mothers with a mean age of 31.5 (S.D=3.6) in 2007. Seven isomers of PCDDs, 10 of PCDFs, 4 of non-orthopolychlorinated biphenyls(non-ortho PCBs) and 8 of mono-orthochlorinated polychlorinated biphenyls (mono-ortho PCBs) were analyzed by HRGC/HRMS. From the analyzed data, the mean level of total WHO-TEQs was 9.41 pg TEQ/g lipid, which is significantly lower than the level found in individuals from other countries. The main contributors to the total WHO-TEQs with increasing percentages were 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF, 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD and 3,3',4,4',5-PCB (#126), and they accounted for more than 60% of the total WHO-TEQs. PCDFs concentrations and total WHO-TEQs were negatively associated with parity (p<0.05), and maternal age was positively associated with total WHO-TEQs (p<0.01). However, the associations with body mass index (BMI) and fish intake during pregnancy were not significant. These results were suggested that parity and maternal age are an important factor affecting the concentrations of PCDD/DFs and dl-PCBs in these specimens.

PCDDs, PCDFs, dl-PCBs는 많은 역학 연구에서 독성오염물질이라고 간주되고 있는 생물축적 화학물질이다. 본 연구는 산모 초유 중에 이들 오염물질을 조사 분석하여 산모특성에 따른 축적성 및 상관성을 평가한 것으로, 실험대상 산모는 2007년에 평균연령 31.5세(표준편차=3.6세)의 건강한 초산부와 경산부이다. PCDDs 7개 이성질체, PCDFs 10개 이성질체, non-ortho PCBs 4개와 mono-ortho PCBs 8개 이성질체가 HRGC/HRMS로 분석되었다. 총 WHO-TEQs 평균값은 9.41 pg TEQ/g lipid로 다른 나라 농도에 비하여 낮은 수준이었다. 백분율의 증가와 함께 총 WHO-TEQs의 주요 기여자는 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF, 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD 및 3,3‘,4,4’,5-PCB (#126)이며, 총 WHO-TEQs의 60% 이상으로 나타났다. PCDFs 농도와 총 WHO-TEQs는 출산경험에 대해서는 음의 상관관계를 나타내었으며(p<0.05) 산모의 연령은 총 WHO-TEQs에 대해서 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다(p<0.01). 그러나, 임신 전 체질량지수와 어류섭취의 상관관계는 유의성이 없었다. 이들 결과로부터 출산경력과 산모 연령은 모유 내의 PCDD/DFs 및 dl-PCBs의 농도에 영향을 미치는 중요한 인자로 판단된다.
