Abstract

Synthetic musk compounds are widely used as fragrances in a variety of personal care products like soaps, sampoos, cosmetics and perfumes. The occurrence of synthetic musk compounds in municipal sewage effluent and other environmental samples could negatively impact the health of the ecosystem and humans, due to persistent and long-term chronic exposure of aquatic organisms. Fifteen synthetic musk compounds (musk ketone, musk xylene, musk ambrette, musk moskene, musk tibetene, HHCB, AHTN, ADBI, AHDI, DPMI, ATII, ethylenebrasssylate, ambretettolide, cyclopentadecanolide, OTNE) were analysed in surface waters and sewage treatment plants (STP) influents/effluents in Korea by GC/MS. Method detection limits were $0.005{\sim}0.398{\mu}g/L$. HHCB and AHTN were most frequently observed in both surface waters and STP influents/effluents.

합성머스크화합물은 개인이 일상생활에서 광범위하게 사용하는 비누, 화장품, 향수, 세제, 방향제 등에 향료로 사용되며 하 폐수 처리시설에서 완벽하게 제거되지 않고 생활하수에 포함된 상당수의 양이 환경 중으로 배출되고 있다. 외국사례의 경우 하천, 해양, 토양, 저질, 생물상 등 다양한 환경매체에서 검출되고 있으며, 잔류성 생물농축성이 있어 지속적으로 노출 시 생태계 및 인간의 건강에 심각한 영향을 끼칠 우려가 있다. 합성머스크화합물 15종(musk ketone, musk xylene, musk ambrette, musk moskene, musk tibetene, HHCB, AHTN, ADBI, AHDI, DPMI, ATII, ethylenebrasssylate, ambretettolide, cyclopentadecanolide, OTNE)을 액액 추출법으로 전처리 한 후 GC/MS로 분석하였으며, 방법검출한계는 $0.005{\sim}0.398{\mu}g/L$로 나타났다. 낙동강 유역의 하천수 20개 지점 및 하수처리장 6개 지점을 조사한 결과 일부 조사대상 물질이 검출되었다. HHCB와 AHTN은 가장 검출빈도가 높은 항목으로 대부분의 하천수 및 하수처리장 유입 방류수에서 검출되었으며, 검출농도는 외국의 조사결과와 유사한 수준이었다.
