초록

본 연구에서는 2007년도 봄철 대전 지역에서 발생한 황사(황사 기간) 및 대기부유물(비황사 기간)의 미량원소의 지구화학적 특성과 정량적 오염정도를 평가하였다. 황사 내 미량원소의 함량은 황사발원지 토양의 평균 함량에 비하여 수십에서 수백 배 높은 함량을 보여주고 있으며, 비황사 시기의 대기부유물에서도 유사한 특성을 보이고 있어, 황사 시기뿐만 아니라 비황사 시기에도 중국으로부터 이동되는 오염물질의 영향을 받고 있음을 지시하고 있다. 입도별 미량원소의 함량은 $PM_{2.5}$에서 Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn, V, S, As, Cd, Co, Ni, Mo, Sb, Cs, Rb, Th, Sc, Y 등이, 그리고 TSP에서는 Zr, Sr, Ba, Li, Th, U 등의 함량이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 황사의 S, Cd, Mo, Zn, Pb, Sb, Cu 및 Zr 함량은대기부유물과 큰 차이를 보이지 않으나, 대기오염으로 부화가 발생하지 않는 Li, Cs, Co, U, Cr, Ni, Rb, V, Th, Y, Sr, Sc 등은 황사에서 2-4.2배 높아졌다. 그러므로 이들 원소들을 황사발생의 지시원소로 사용할 수 있으며, 특히 Sr, V, Cr 및 Li 등은 황사 발생을 판단하기 위한 지시원소로 사용하기에 적합한 것으로 보인다. 한편 황사의 이동경로에 따른 미량원소의 함량을 살펴본 결과, 중국의 대도시 및 산업단지를 경유하여 국내 유입된 황사가, 북한을 경유하여 국내에 도달한 황사에 비해서, S, Cd, Zn, Pb, Cu, Mo 및 As 함량이 높게 나타나, 황사의 이동경로가 이들 미량원소 오염 여부 및 오염도를 결정하는데 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 판단된다. 황사 및 대기부유물 내 미량원소의 부화지수(Enrichment factor)을 기준으로 오염정도를 분류한 결과, 환경재해 측면에서 가장 문제가 되는 미량원소는 S, Zn, Cu, Pb, As, Mo, Cd이며, 이들은 인간의 건강 뿐만 아니라, 오랜 기간 토양과 수계환경에 퇴적될 경우 환경오염으로 인한 주변 생태계에 해로운 영향을 미치게 될 것으로 판단된다.

We evaluated the geochemical characteristics and their potential pollution of Asian Dusts in Daejeon, Korea during spring 2007. Compared with the chemical compositions of soils in source area of Asian Dust, those of aerosols in Daejeon were enriched with trace elements (ten to hundred fold), inferring that pollutants from China have affected on local environment in adjoining country such as Korea. Chemical analysis of aerosols during Asian dust showed that fine particles ($PM_{2.5}$) contained high contents of trace elements such as Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn, V, S, As, Cd, Co, Ni, Mo, Sb, Cs, Rb, Th, Sc and Y. In the case of TSP (Total Suspended Particle), Zr, Sr, Ba, Li, Th and U were contained much more than other trace elements. The contents of some elements (i.e. Li, Cs, Co, U, Cr, Ni, Rb, V, Th, Y, Sr and Sc) in aerosols collected in Asian Dust period, which are not likely enriched by air pollutants, were higher (2 - 4.2 fold) than those in Non Asian Dust period, indicating that these elements could be used as indicator elements for determining the occurrence of Asian Dust phenomena (especially, Sr, V, Cr & Li). In the case of Asian Dust coming through the big cities and/or industrial areas of China, the domestic aerosols had higher contents of trace elements (such as S, Cd, Zn, Pb, Cu, Mo and As) than those from Northeastern China via North Korea, indicating that the transportation courses of air mass are very important to determine the pollution degrees. Using the enrichment factors of trace elements in aerosols during Asian Dust and Non Asian Dust, we identified that some elements (i.e. S, Zn, Cu, Pb, As, Mo and Cd) were most problematic in terms of environmental hazard aspects, and these elements could affect adverse effects on human health as well as ecosystem and surface environment (soil and water) through long-lived precipitation.
