Dioxins are chemical substances that are not properly decomposed degradation under natural photochemical, biological and chemical conditions in the environment, and bio-accumulate through the food chain, so pose a risk of causing adverse effects to human health and the environment. Ninety seven percent of human exposure to dioxins comes through meat, fish, dairy consumption and so on. Pork is the largest proportion meat aspect of daily intake in the Korean food. Pigs are three times more than Cattle in terms of breeding population and production amount in the world, and the amount is increasing every year. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the exposure level of dioxins in pig's body. Also, it is required to evaluate the presence of these chemical substances in the pig's feed grain such as corn, soybeans, and tallow. The purpose of this study was to evaluate PCDD/Fs in pig's feed to search the origin of PCDD/Fs. Feed samples obtained were wheat from East Europe, corn from South America and America, soybean meal from Korea, America, South America and India and tallow from Korea. The preparation of samples was based on the EPA method 1613. Instrumental analysis was based on the use of high resolution gas chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS). The concentrations of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and 1,2,3,7,8-pentachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD), which are the most toxic potent dioxins, were not observed in any of the samples. However OCDD was detected in most of the samples. The TEQs in the feed samples were ranged from 0 pg TEQ/g to 0.09841 pg TEQ/g. Especially, the high level of TEQs was observed in the samples of wheat from East Europe and soybean meal from Korea.

본 연구에서는 다이옥신류의 정제과정으로 수동 및 자동 액체 크로마토그래피 칼럼을 이용하여 PCDDs/Fs 17종과 다이옥신과 유사한 PCB 12종의 용출 패턴을 비교, 분석하였다. 수동 알루미나 칼럼에서는 29종의 화합물이 같이 용출되어 분리되지 않았으나 자동화 칼럼의 경우 mono-ortho-PCB로부터 PCDDs/Fs 및 non-ortho PCB를 분리할 수 있었다. PAR (Precision And Recovery) 표준용액으로 조사한 다이옥신류와 PCB의 회수율은 각각 수동 액체 크로마토그래피 칼럼에서 61.9 ~ 96.0%, 70.4 ~ 79.0%였으며, 자동화 칼럼의 경우는 71.8 ~ 104.5%, 61.3 ~ 120.3% 이었다. DB-5MS 칼럼에서 분리되지 않는 #169-HxCB와 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD은 EPA 1613 방법 중 선택이온의 비를 M+2/M+4 대신 M/M+2로 변경하여 HRGC/HRMS 분석에서 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD와 #169-HxCB의 구분이 가능하도록 하였다.

본 연구에서는 고농도 PCBs (Polychlorinated biphenyls)로 오염된 토양류 인증표준물질(Certified reference materials, CRM) 내에 존재하는 17종의 PCDDs/PCDFs를 분석하여 측정의 정확도를 평가하였다. 분석 방법은 2007년 환경부에서 고시한 비의도적 잔류성유기오염물질 공정시험방법을 토대로 하였으나 다층 실리카겔 컬럼과 알루미나 컬럼으로만 정제 시 방해 물질들이 충분히 제거되지 않아 활성탄 컬럼을 추가하여 정제하였다. 정확도의 평가 지표로서는 한국표준과학연구원(KRISS)에서 제시한 |En| 값을 사용하였으며 |En|값이 1이하인 경우 정량 결과를 '만족'으로 판정한다. 본 실험에서 DB-5MS컬럼과 SP-2331 컬럼을 병용하여 CRM을 분석한 결과 17종 2,3,7,8-치환이성체 모두 1 이하의 |En| 값을 얻었다. 또한 DB-5MS 컬럼에서 분리되지 않는 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD와 3,3',4,4',5,5'-HxCB는 선택 이온비를 EPA1613 방법에서 제시한 M+2/M+4 대신 M/M+2로 변경하여 HRGC/HRMS 분석에서 구분이 가능하도록 하였다.

Objectives : In this study, the exposure status of the hazardous substances from incinerators, such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), were studied , and the relationship between the exposure of these hazardous substances and their heath effects on the workers and residents near municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators and an industrial incinerator investigated. Methods : Between July 2001 and Jure 2002, 13 workers at two MSW incinerators, 16 residents from the area around the two MSW incinerators, 6 residents from the control area, and further 10 residents near an industrial incinerator, estimated to emit higher levels of hazardous substances, were interviewed. Information, including sociodemographic information, personal habits, and work history, detailed gynecologic and other medical history were collected through interviews. Blood samples were also collected from 45 subjects, and analyzed for PCDD/DFs, by high resolution gas chromatography -high resolution mass spectrometry, using the US EPA 1613 method. In addition to the questionnaire survey, urinary concentrations of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured as oxidative injury biomarkers. The urinary concentrations of 8-OH-dG were determined by in vitro ELISA, and the MDA by HPLC, using u adduct with thiobarbituric acid. Results : The PCDD/DFs concentrations in the residents near the industrial incinerator were higher than those in the controls, workers and residents near the MSW incinerators. The average TEQ (Toxic Equivalencies) concentrations of the PCDD/DFs in residents near the industrial incinerator were 53.4pg I-TEQs/g lipid. The estimated daily intakes were within the tolerable daily intake range (1-4 pg I-TEQ/Kg bw/day) suggested by WHO (1997) in only 30% to the people near the industrial incinerator. Animal studies have already shown that even a low body border of PCDD/DFs, such as 10 ng TEQ/kg bw, can cause oxidative damage in laboratory animals. Our study also showed that the same body burden of PCDD/DFs can cause oxidative damage to humans. Conclusions : The exposures to PCDD/DFs and the oxidative stress of residents near the industrial incinerator, were higher than those in the controls, workers and residents near the MSW incinerators. Proper protection strategies against these hazardous chemicals are needed. Because a lower body burden of PCDD/Fs, such as 10ng TEQ/kg bw, can cause oxidative damage, the tolerable daily intake range should be restrictedly limited to 1pg I-TEQ/kg bw/day.
