Abstract

This study presents the result of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of a pharmacokinetic model which describes the distribution and removal of benzene at each organ when an indivisual inhales indoor contaminated air with benzene originated from groundwater. The pharmacokinetic model simulates the distribution of benzene deposited in organs of human body through inhalation of contaminated indoor air as well as degradation-metabolism in liver. This study focused on the uncertainty problem induced from the use of the single values for blood flow, partition coefficient, degradation constant, volume, etc. of each organ which was due to a lack of knowledge about these parameters or their measurements. To solve this problem, uncertainty analysis on the pharmacokinetic model was conducted simultaneously which would help understanding the risk assessment associated with VOCs.

본 연구는 지하수로부터 유래한 벤젠이 실내공기에 휘발되어 호흡을 통하여 인체에 유입될때 각 장기에 분포하고 제거되는 것을 묘사하는 동적약리학 모델의 불확실성 및 중요도 분석의 결과를 제공하였다. 오염된 실내공기의 호흡을 통해 체내에 유입된 벤젠이 각 장기에 분포하는 비율과 농도를 모의하기 위해 기존의 동적약리학 모델을 적용하였으며 간에서의 분해대사를 포함하여 구성하였다. 본 연구는 동적약리학 모델의 각 장기의 혈류량, 분배계수, 분해상수, 부피 등과 같은 인자들에 대한 지식 및 측정의 부족에서 오는 고정된 단일 값의 사용이 야기하는 불확실성 문제에 대해 초점을 맞추었다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 동적약리학 모델과 불확실성 분석을 동시에 수행되었으며 앞으로 휘발성 유기화합물과 관련한 위해도 평가에서의 이해를 높일 수 있다고 생각된다.
