초록

유류 유출에 의한 잔류 석유계 오염물질들은 높은 소수성으로 인하여 해양 저서 생태계에 축적될 수 있다. 오염 피해를 입은 지역의 생태위해성평가를 위해서는 통상적으로 많은 모니터링 자료가 필요하다. 간단한 먹이연쇄 생물축적 모형을 이용하여 생태계의 잔류 유류오염물질에 대한 노출수준의 평가를 통해서 모니터링에 소요되는 시간과 비용을 크게 절약할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 네 종류의 다환방향족탄화수소(페난트린, 안트라센, 피렌, 벤조[a]피렌)에 대하여 가상의 저서생태계를 대상으로 두 개의 노출 시나리오에 대하여 이들 오염물질의 잔류농도를 산정하였다. 해수중 농도를 수용해도의 1/10에 이르는 것으로 가정한 극단적인 시나리오에서 체내 잔류농도는 영양단계에 따라 차이가 있으나, 5~250 mg/kg으로 예측되었다. 또한 대상 생물종들에 대하여 주어진 조건에서 생물농축계수(BCF)와 생물축적계수(BAF)를 평가하였다. 대사과정을 무시할 경우 로그 생물농축계수(log BCF)는 로그 옥탄올-물 분배계수(log $K_{OW}$)가 7.0에 이를 때까지 log $K_{OW}$의 증가에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였고 7.0 이상의 값에서는 점차 감소하였다. 대상생태계에서의 생물증폭 현상은 log $K_{OW}$값이 5.0 이상인 물질에서 두드러졌으며, 이는 많은 석유계 오염물질들의 log $K_{OW}$값이 5.0 이상이므로 오염피해를 입은 생태계내의 생물증폭현상을 예측하기 위해서는 먹이연쇄망의 구조가 매우 중요함을 나타낸다. 지역특이적 노출평가를 위해서는 추가적 연구가 필요하나, 현 상태의 모형은 스크리닝 수준에서의 저서 생태계의 잔류 유류오염물 질에 대한 노출을 평가할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Residual petroleum hydrocarbons after an oil spill may accumulate in the marine benthic ecosystem due to their high hydrophobicity. A lot of monitoring data are required for the estimation of ecosystem exposure to residual petrochemicals in an ecological risk assessment in the affected region. To save time and cost, the environmental exposure to them in the affected ecosystem can also be assessed using a simple food-web bioaccumulation model. In this study, we evaluated residual concentrations of four selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (phenanthrene, anthracene, pyrene, and benzo[a]pyrene) in a hypothetic benthic ecosystem composed of six species under two exposure scenarios. Body-residue concentration ranged 5~250 mg/kg body depending on trophic positions in an extreme scenario in which the aqueous concentrations of PAHs were assumed to be one-tenth of their aqueous solubility. In addition, bioconcentration factors (BCFs) and bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) were evaluated for model species. The logarithm of bioconcentration factor (log BCF) linearly increased with increasing the logarithm of 1-octanol-water partition coefficient (log $K_{OW}$) until log $K_{OW}$ of 7.0, followed by a gradual decrease with further increase in log $K_{OW}$ without metabolic degradation. Biomagnification became significant when log $K_{OW}$ of a pollutant exceeded 5.0 in the model ecosystem, indicating that investigation of food-web structure should be critical to predict biomagnifications in the affected ecosystem because log $K_{OW}$ values of many petrochemicals are higher than 5.0. Although further research is required for better site-specific evaluation of exposure, the model simulation can be used to estimate the level of the ecosystem exposure to residual oil contaminants at the screening level.
