Abstract

The types of hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) being transported by sea in Korea are at about 6,000, HNS transport volume accounts for 19% of total tonnage shipped in Korea, and the increase rate of seaborne HNS trade in Korea is 2.5 times higher than the average increase rate of the world seaborne HNS trade. Reflecting this trend, HNS spill incidents have been frequently reported in Korean waters, and there are increasing social demands to develop HNS management technology for the preparedness, response, post-treatment and restoration in relation to HNS spill incidents at sea. In this study, a risk-based HNS prioritization system was developed and an HNS risk database was built with evaluation indices such as sea transport volume, physicochemical properties, toxicities, persistency, and bioaccumulation. Risk scores for human health and marine environments were calculated by multiplying scores for toxicity and exposure. The top-20 substances in the list of HNS were tabulated, and Aniline was ranked first place, but it needs to be managed not by individuals but by HNS groups with similar score levels. Limitations were identified in obtaining data of chronic toxicity and marine ecotoxicity due to lack of testing data. It is necessary to study on marine ecotoxicological test in the near future. Moreover, the priority list of HNS is expected to be utilized in the development of HNS management technology and the relevant technologies, after the expert's review process and making up for the lack of test data in the current research results.

국내에서 해상을 통하여 운송되는 위험 유해물질(HNS, Hazardous and Noxious Substances)의 종류는 약 6천여 종이고, 그 유통량은 2억5천1백만톤으로 전체 해상운송량의 약 19 %를 차지하며 해상 HNS 무역량 증가율은 세계 평균증가율의 2.5배에 해당한다. 이를 반영하듯 최근 국내 해상에서 HNS 유출사고가 빈번하게 발생하고 있어 이에 대한 대비 대응 사후처리 및 복원기술 개발에 대한 사회적 요구가 증대되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 국내외 화학물질 관리 우선순위 기법을 검토하여 해상 HNS를 관리하기 위한 우선순위선정기법을 개발하고 적용하였다. 우선순위 선정을 위해 물리 화학적 특성, 인체 및 수생태독성, 잔류성, 축적성, 해상운송량에 대한 DB를 구축하였다. 우선순위는 인체위해성과 수생태위해성에 대해 각각 노출지표들과 독성지표들의 곱으로 점수화하고, 최종적으로 인체위해성과 수생태위해성 점수를 합하여 물질별 위해성 점수를 산정하였다. 우선순위산정 결과, Aniline을 포함한 상위 20개 물질이 제시되었으나 순위에 의한 단순한 관리보다는 점수별 물질 군으로 구분하여 관리해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 위해성 DB 구축과정에서 인체 및 수생태 만성독성 자료와 해양생물독성에 대한 자료가 매우 빈약한 것으로 나타났으므로 우선순위 물질들을 대상으로 자료 부재여부를 조사하여 관련 독성시험 연구를 진행해야 할 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구에서 개발된 우선순위시스템 및 우선순위 물질들은 향후 자료보완 및 전문가 검토가 이루어질 경우 HNS 사고 관리 및 관련기술 개발에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
