Abstract

Human bio-monitoring (HBM) data is a very important resource for tracking total exposure and concentrations of a parent chemical or its metabolites in human biomarkers. However, until now, it was difficult to execute the integration of different types of HBM data due to incompatibility problems caused by gaps in study design, chemical description and coding system between different sources in Korea. In this study, we presented a standardized code system and HBM knowledge model (KM) based on relational database modeling methodology. For this purpose, we used 11 raw datasets collected from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) between 2006 and 2018. We then constructed the HBM database (DB) using a total of 205,491 concentration-related data points for 18,870 participants and 86 chemicals. In addition, we developed a summary report-type statistical analysis program to verify the inputted HBM datasets. This study will contribute to promoting the sustainable creation and versatile utilization of big-data for HBM results at the MFDS.

인체 바이오모니터링(Human biomonitoring, HBM) 데이터는 뇨와 혈액 등 생체지표으로부터 환경유해물질의 측정을 통해 획득되며, 다양한 노출원과 경로로부터 노출되는 유해물질의 인체노출수준 및 건강영향과의 상관성을 파악하기 위해 매우 중요하다. 국내의 경우 식품의약품안전처를 비롯한 국가기관의 다양한 HBM 프로그램을 통하여 HBM 데이터가 생산되고 있다. 그러나, 목적, 시기, 연구자 및 측정 장비의 차이에 의하여 서로 다른 형식에 따라 생산되다 보니, 데이터의 호환성의 문제로 인하여 특정 HBM 데이터를 신속하게 조회해야 하거나 인구집단별 시간적 추이분석 내지는 다른 국가의 자료와 비교에 난점을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 HBM 데이터를 체계적으로 데이터베이스(Database, DB)화하고 활용성을 증진하게 시킬 목적으로 지식 모델링을 실시하였다. 지식 모델링은 HBM 데이터의 생산되는 변수들을 그룹화하고 관계를 분석하여 2차원 구조의 개체 및 집합론에 기초한 방법론인 관계형 데이터 모델링 기법을 활용하여 실시하였다. 지식모델은 조사대상자를 인구집단으로 중심으로 설문자료, 측정자료, 노출 평가자료 개체로 구성하고 그 안에 속성들을 정의하고, 개체간에 관계를 설정하는 방식으로 구성하였다. 또한, 도출된 지식 모델을 기반으로 식품의약품안전처에서 2006년-2018년까지 수행한 HBM의 원시데이터를 수집, 정제 및 정규화하여 통합 DB를 구축하였다. 이와 같이 통합된 HBM-DB는 개별 자료원 내지는 특정 자료원들을 선택하여 기간별 농도 수준에 대한 통계분석은 물론, 다양한 검색조건을 통하여 데이터 추출을 할 수 있는 구조로 구축하였다. 본 HBM-DB는 관계형 DB모델로 구축되어 지속적인 대용량 DB 축적이나 HBM 데이터 해석을 위한 도구로써 효율적으로 수행할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
