Abstract

Acute and chronic toxicities of methyl ethyl ketone and methanol were investigated on Paronychiurus kimi (Collembola), for evaluating the potential effects of accidental exposures of these chemical substances on the terrestrial environments. This study was undertaken to establish a toxicity database for these chemical substances, which was required for the preparation of the response compensation and liability act for agricultural production and environmental damage. The 7-d acute toxicity and 28-d chronic toxicity were conducted using the OECD artificial soil spiked with varying, serially diluted concentrations of methyl ethyl ketone and methanol. Mortality was recorded after 7-d and 28-d of exposures, and the number of juveniles were determined after 28-d of exposure in the chronic toxicity test. In both assessments, methanol was more toxic than methyl ethyl ketone in terms of mortality ($LC_{50}$) and reproduction ($EC_{50}$). The 7-d $LC_{50}$ of methyl ethyl ketone and methanol were 762 and $2378mg\;kg^{-1}$ soil dry wt., respectively, and the 28-d $LC_{50}s$ were 6063 and $1857mg\;kg^{-1}$ soil dry wt., respectively. The 28-d $EC_{50}$ of methyl ethyl ketone and methanol were 265 and $602mg\;kg^{-1}$ soil dry wt., respectively. Comparison of results obtained in this study with literature data revealed that P. kimi was more sensitive to methanol than other soil invertebrates. However, given the high volatility of the chemicals tested in this study, further studies are necessary to improve the current test guideline, or to develop new test guidelines for an accurate assessment of chemicals that require toxicity databases for chemical accidents.

화학사고 발생 시 환경에 노출된 화학물질이 생태계에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여, 우리나라에서 서식하는 김어리톡토기(Paronychiurus kimi)를 이용하여 OECD guidelines 232 Collembola reproduction test in soil에 따라 사고대비물질 2종, 메틸에틸케톤과 메탄올에 대한 급성, 만성 생태독성평가를 진행하였다. 메틸에틸케톤과 메탄올을 농도별로 OECD 인공토양과 섞은 후, 성충 P. kimi 10마리를 접종하여 7일 후의 성충 사망률과, 28일 후의 성충 사망률 및 번식률을 확인하였다. 메틸에틸케톤과 메탄올에 대한 급성독성평가 결과, $LC_{50}$ 값은 각각 2378과 $762mg\;kg^{-1}$ soil이었으며, 만성독성평가 결과, $LC_{50}$ 값은 각각 1857과 $6063mg\;kg^{-1}$ soil이었다. 만성독성평가 시 P. kimi의 산란 수에 대한 $EC_{50}$ 값은 메틸에틸케톤에서 $570mg\;kg^{-1}$ soil, 메탄올이 $589mg\;kg^{-1}$ soil로 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과 P. kimi가 종래의 다른 토양 절지동물에 비해 메탄올에 대해 높은 민감도를 갖는 것으로 판단되었다. 현재까지 이들 사고대비물질에 대한 생태독성정보의 부재와 더불어 대부분의 사고대비물질들이 큰 휘발성을 가지고 있는 점을 감안할 때, 이러한 사고대비물질에 대한 정확한 평가를 위해서는 종래의 표준지침을 개선하거나 새로운 평가지침 마련을 통해 지속적인 생태독성정보구축을 위한 더 많은 연구가 필요하다.
