  • Surface sediments (0- 5 cm), mussels (Mytilus coruscus and M. edulis) and oysters (Crassostrea gigas) were sampled at 20 stations in Korean coast during a period of February to July 2000. Samples were analyzed for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) content using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometer detector (GC/MSD). The sediment $\sum PAH$ concentration varied from 7 to 1,214 ng/g dry weight and the level of carcinogenic PAHs of six species ranged from 1 to 563 ng/g dry weight in surface sediments. In organisms, the levels of $\sum PAH$ were in the range of 63-876 ng/g dry weight and the concentrations of carcinogenic PAHs of six species were in the range of 4-582 ng/g dry weight. The highest PAH concentrations in sediments and organisms were in samples from Station 5 in Pohang coast and Station 8 in Jinhae coast, respectively. $\sum PAH$ concentrations in sediments and organisms collected from Korean coast were slightly low or comparable to those in other countries. The contribution of ring aromatic groups to sum of 16 PAHs in sediments and organisms showed a similar pattern for most stations. In sediments, the predominant contributions were four and five ring aromatics like fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene, chrysene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene and benzo[a]pyrene. In the organisms, four ring aromatics like fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene and chrysene were predominant PAH species. Several molecular indices such as phenanthrene/anthracene, fluoranthene/pyrene and LMW/HMW ratio were used to identify the origin of PAH contamination in sediments. The results indicate that PAHs of Korean coast were mainly of pyro1ytic contaminants with slight petrogenic input. A high correlation within individual PAH compound in marine sediments was observed, while correlation in organisms showed a highly significant relationship for heavier molecular weight PAHs.

  • 화학적으로 안정한 다환 방향족 염료을 페수처리시설이나 천연적인 분해에 통해서 제거시키는 것이 비효율적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 다환 방향족 염료를 제거를 위하여 우리는 여러 버섯균류의 조사하였다. 한국의 야산에서 채집된 230종의 버섯으로부터 조직분리를 통하여 100개 버섯 균을 분리하였다. 염료(Bromophenol Blue, Congo Red, 혹은 Methylene Blue)를 함유한 배지에 분리된 버섯 균을 10%로 접종한 후 7일 동안 정치배양 혹은 진탕배양하여 염료제거능이 우수한 6 종의 버섯 균을 선발하였다. 이렇게 선발된 버섯 균을 대상으로 다핵방향족 염료를 제거하는 능력을 조사하였다. 모든 버섯 균이 진탕배양 시보다 정치배양 시 더 우수한 염료제거 능을 보였다. 염료에 따른 염료제거능은 대부분의 경우에서 Methylene Blue, Bromophenol Blue, Congo Red 순으로 증가하였다. 위 세 염료 중에서 Congo Red가 가장 많이 흡착되었다.

  • 공정오일 내 다핵성 방향족 화합물(PCA)은 무게함량 대비 3%이상 함유한 경우 피부암을 일으키는 것으로 알려졌다. 저함량과 고함량 PCA 오일의 구분 기준은 PCA 함량 3%에 근거한다. 기준 함량 이상이면 발암성 물질인 고함량 PCA 오일로 DAE가 있으며, 기준 함량 이하이면 인체에 안전한 저함량 PCA 오일로 TDAE, MES, 파라핀 오일이 이에 속한다. 상기 4종류의 공정오일을 적용한 SBR 가황물에 용매 추출 및 분리로 오일을 정제한 후, FT-IR분광 기술을 이용하여 PCA 오일 종류을 결정하였다. 그리고 파라핀 오일이 적용된 SBR 가황물에서 고무 약품인 HPPD, TMDQ, 왁스, 공정조제(Structol-40MS)의 오일에 대한 영향을 연구하였다. 분리 정제된 오일로부터 저함량과 고함량 PCA 오일 구분은 방향족 치환체 흡수영역인 파수 864, 810, 754 및 파라핀 또는 나프텐 흡수영역인 파수 721의 상대적인 흡수세기로 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Surface sediments(0~5 cm) were sampled from 22 stations in Ulsan Bay, one of the most highly industrialized regions in Korea, in November 2000. The sediment samples were analyzed for their polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon(PAH) content using a gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer detector(GC/MSD). The total PAH concentrations in the sediments varied from 14 to 7108 ng/g dry weight with a mean value of 1052 ng/g dry weight. The level of carcinogenic PAHs ranged from 6 to 2396 ng/g dry weight with a mean value of 433 ng/g dry weight. The highest PAH concentrations in the sediments from Ulsan Bay were found at Station U8, whereas the lowest levels were observed at Stations U2 and U 17. The PAH distribution exhibited a decreasing gradient from the inner basin to the outer bay. The predominant contributors to the aromatic ring groups of the 16 PAHs were four- and five-ring groups, such as fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene, chrysene, benzor[b]fluoranthene, benzor[k]fluoranthene and benzo[a]pyrene, while two- and three-ring aromatics, like naphthalene, acenapthylene, acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene and anthracene, only exhibited a low concentration. The molecular indices for phenanthrene/anthracene and fluoranthen/pyrene were used to Identify the origin of the PAH contamination in the sediments. The results indicated that the PAH contamination in Ulsan Bay was mostly Pyrolytic in origin with a Petrogenic input adjacent to Ulsan and Jangsuengpo harbor.

  • Atmospheric deposition and riverine waters were sampled throughout a year, to estimate the loading fluxes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into the Masan Bay and its vicinity, Korea. Atmospheric deposition fluxes of total PAHs in the surveyed area varied from 62.2 to 464 ${\mu}g/m^2/year$. Concentration of total PAHs in water samples from six rivers ranged from 34.6 to 239 ng/L. Contribution of the carcinogenic PAHs to the total PAHs occupied $38\%$ and $50\%$ for atmospheric deposition and river waters, respectively. Atmospheric deposition fluxes and water concentrations of PAHs were slightly low or moderate to those in locations from some countries. Correspondence analysis was used to investigate the loading characteristics of PAHs according to transport routes. Atmospheric deposition samples were corresponded to higher molecular aromatics of PAHs, while riverine water samples were associated with lower molecular weight of PAHs. The results indicate that the higher-molecular-weight PAHs can be primarily transported by atmosphere deposition and the lower-molecular-weight PAHs can be mainly contaminated by riverine discharge into the Masan Bay and its vicinity. Loadings fluxes of PAHs into the Masan Bay and its vicinity were 39.2 g/day via atmosphere and 10.3 g/day via rivers, showing that atmospheric input was about 4 times higher than riverine one. Therefore, in order to minimize the contamination burden of PAHs from terrestrial sources to the Masan Bay and its vicinity, the control and management of PAHs deriving from atmosphere will be necessary.
