초록

우라늄은 자연적 원인과 인위적 원인에 의해 오염이 가능하지만 국내 지하수 토양환경에서는 자연적 원인에 의한 오염 가능성이 높다. 우라늄은 방사성 독성과 화학적 독성을 동시에 갖고 있어 먹는 물에 포함될 경우 그 위해성이 매우 높다. 본 연구에서는 경북지역의 마을상수도 및 소규모 급수시설, 지하수, 샘물 및 먹는 샘물, 먹는 물 공동시설, 지하수 측정망, 민방위비상급수 등의 시료를 대상으로 우라늄 농도를 측정하였으며 국내외 수질 기준과 비교하여 오염 정도를 평가하였다. 총 803개의 시료 중 미국의 먹는 물 권고기준 또는 우리나라의 권고기준인 $30{\mu}g/{\ell}$를 초과하는 시료의 수는 6개이며 전체시료에서 차지하는 비율은 0.7%이다. 모암의 특성에 따른 우라늄의 농도는 흑운모화강섬록암, 흑운모화강암, 편마상화강암 등과 같은 화강암질 암석이 분포한 지역에서 비교적 높게 나타났다.

Uranium can be released into the water environment from natural sources and human activities. The natural source of uranium is dominant in the Korean soil and groundwater environments. Uranium has both of radioactive and chemical toxic properties. Therefore, a drinking water contaminated with uranium has a high health risk. This study was conducted to determine the uranium concentration of water systems including small village drinking water system, groundwater for drinking water purpose, spring water, groundwater monitoring well, and emergency water suppling system. The uranium concentration was compared with domestic and other countries' standard. The contamination level was also evaluated on the basis of geological characteristics of the area. Among total 803 samples, 6 exceeded the Korean standard, $30{\mu}g/{\ell}$ and this was about 0.7% of the total sample. On the basis of geology, uranium concentration appeared to be increased in order of biotite granodiorite > biotite granite > gneissoid granite. The highest level of uranium was 12.4 in average.
