Analysis of Organotin Compounds in Fish and Shellfish from Guryongpo Harbor

구룡포항 어패류에 함유된 유기주석화합물 분석

The concentrations of organotin compounds in fish and shellfish from Guryongpo harbor were analyzed. The concentrations of TBT, DBT and MBT in fish were in the range of $15.68{\sim}52.93\;ng/g$(average 28.65 ng/g), $13.95{\sim}72.16\;ng/g$(average 26.99 ng/g) and $37.73{\sim}133.59\;ng/g$(average 85.18 ng/g), respectively. The BT compound concentrations in intestine of fish were higher than those in muscle. Overall ranges of TBT, DBT and MBT concentrations in shellfish were $42.15{\sim}56.13\;ng/g$(average 50.94 ng/g), $34.16{\sim}52.82\;ng/g$(average 42.79 ng/g) and $41.25-72.60\;ng/g$(average 53.71 ng/g), respectively. The BT compound concentrations of shellfish were higher than those of fish. The concentrations of TPT and DPT in fish were $0.47{\sim}3.90\;ng/g$(average 2.33 ng/g) and $ND{\sim}0.56\;ng/g$(average 0.15 ng/g), but MPT was not detected. The concentrations of TPT, DPT and MPT in shellfish were in the range of $10.24{\sim}21.67\;ng/g$(average 17.45 ng/g), $3.32{\sim}4.78\;ng/g$(average 3.91 ng/g) and $0.11{\sim}0.36\;ng/g$(average 0.25 ng/g), respectively. In addition, the MBT ratio was highest among BT compounds, but the TPT ratio was the highest among PT compounds. Taken together, the concentrations of organotin compounds in fish and shellfish from Guryongpo harbor was not higher than those from other harbors in Korea.

구룡포항에서 수획한 어패류에 함유된 유기주석화합물인 BT 화합물의 농도를 분석한 결과, 어류에 함유된 TBT, DBT, MBT의 농도는 각각 $15.68{\sim}52.93\;ng/g$(평균 28.65 ng/g), $13.95{\sim}72.16\;ng/g$(평균 26.99 ng/g), $37.73{\sim}133.59\;ng/g$(평균 85.18 ng/g)으로 분석되었다. 또한 어류의 근육보다는 내장에 BT 화합물이 더 많이 축적되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 패류에서의 TBT, DBT, MBT 농도는 각각 $42.15{\sim}56.13\;ng/g$(평균 50.94 ng/g), $34.16{\sim}52.82\;ng/g$(평균 42.79 ng/g), $41.25{\sim}72.60\;ng/g$(평균 53.71 ng/g)으로 분석되어 패류의 BT 화합물 함유량이 어류의 BT 화합물 함유량보다 다소 높았다. 또한 어류에 함유된 PT 화합물의 농도를 분석한 결과 TPT와 DPT의 농도가 각각 $0.47{\sim}3.90\;ng/g$(평균 2.33 ng/g), $ND{\sim}0.56\;ng/g$(0.15 ng/g)이었으며 MBT는 검출되지 않았다. 패류의 PT 화합물의 농도는 TPT가 $10.24{\sim}21.67\;ng/g$(평균 17.45 ng/g, DPT가 $3.32{\sim}4.78\;ng/g$(평균 3.91 ng/g), MPT가 $0.11{\sim}0.36\;ng/g$(평균 0.25 ng/g)으로 분석되었다. 한편 어류에 함유된 유기주석화합물의 비율을 볼 때, BT 화합물의 경우 MBT 비율이 높게 나타난 반면 PT 화합물에서는 TPT 비율이 높게 나타났다. 전체적으로 볼 때 구룡포항에서 수획한 어패류의 유기주석화합물 농도는 국내 다른 항구의 어패류보다 높지 않은 것으로 나타났다.
