Abstract

This study was investigated occurrence and distribution patterns of organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs) in Nakdong River basin (mainstream, tributaries and sewage treatment plant (STP) effluents). 3 (TCEP, TCPP and TBEP) out of 9 OPFRs were detected in 6 out of 20 sampling sites (mainstream and tributaries), The TCPP and TBEP concentration levels in mainstream samples were ND~114.9 ng/L ng/L and ND~49.1 ng/L, respectively. And the TCEP, TCPP and TBEP concentration levels in tributary samples were ND~1,865.3 ng/L, ND~519.2 ng/L and ND~210.4 ng/L, respectively. 4 (TBP, TCEP, TCPP and TBEP) out of 9 OPFRs were detected in effluents of 11 STPs around the Nakdong River basin. The TBP, TCEP, TCPP and TBEP concentration levels in 11 STP effluents were ND~458.5 ng/L, ND~2,932.7 ng/L, ND~1,320.7 ng/L and ND~655.2 ng/L, respectively. According to the sampling season, change ranges of distribution patterns and detected concentrations of OPFRs were highly variable in the same sampling sites.

낙동강 수계에서의 유기인계 난연제류(OPFRs) 검출현황을 조사한 결과, 본류 및 지류 20지점 중 6지점에서 TCEP, TCPP 및 TBEP 3종이 검출되었으며, 본류에서는 고령에서만 TCPP가 ND~114.9 ng/L 및 TBEP가 ND~49.1 ng/L의 농도로 검출되었으며, 지류의 경우는 금호강 상류, 신천, 금호강 하류, 진천천 및 양산천에서 TCEP가 ND~1,865.3 ng/L, TCPP가 ND~519.2 ng/L 및 TBEP가 ND~210.4 ng/L의 농도로 검출되었다. 낙동강 주변에 위치한 11개 하수처리장 방류수들에서는 TBP, TCEP, TCPP 및 TBEP 4종이 각각 ND~458.5 ng/L, ND~2,932.7 ng/L, ND~1,320.7 ng/L 및 ND~655.2 ng/L의 농도로 검출되었다. 낙동강 수계 및 낙동강 주변에 위치한 11개 하수처리장 방류수들에서의 계절별 OPFRs 분포비율을 분석한 결과, 동일 지점에서도 채수시기에 따라 검출농도 뿐만 아니라 구성종 비율의 변화폭도 매우 크게 나타났다.
