Abstract

Hazardous and noxious substances (HNS), when discharged into the marine environment, lead to effects on humans and marine organisms, corrosive damage to marine facilities, and interference in using marine areas. For the regulation and management of HNS, it is necessary to select prioritization through scientific methods. To address this, the Chemical Ranking and Scoring (CRS) technique has been developed and used worldwide. In this study, a comparison of various CRS systems was conducted to establish a prioritization system for systematic management of HNS discharged into the marine environment from marine industrial facilities. First, the target chemicals and target facilities were selected. Second, the main factors of the prioritization system were derived. Third, detailed factors and a quantitative scoring system were established for five major factors. The five main factors were relatively assigned as social interest and issues (20 points), exposure potential (30 points), toxicity (35 points), behavior (10 points), and interference with marine uses (5 points). The method is applied such that it can be converted to 100 points through the product of toxicity and detailed factors of behavior. Uncertainty scores, uncertainty ratios, and mixtures were proposed for consideration. The outcomes of this study are expected to be used for prioritization for the management of HNS discharged or spilled from offshore industrial facilities.

HNS(Hazardous and Noxious Substances)는 해양환경에 유입될 경우 인간 및 해양생물에게 해를 끼치거나, 해양시설에 부식 등의 손상을 입히거나 기타 해역의 이용을 방해할 수 있다. HNS의 규제나 관리를 위해서는 과학적인 방법을 통하여 우선순위 대상의 선정이 필요하며 이러한 방법론으로 CRS(Chemical Ranking and Scoring)기법이 전세계적으로 개발되어 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 해양산업시설로부터 해양환경으로 배출되는 HNS의 체계적 관리를 목적으로 국내외 CRS 체계를 비교 분석하였으며, 이를 통하여 우선순위 선정 도출체계를 확립하고 연구대상 지역 및 대상시설을 선정하고 우선순위 선정체계 주요인자를 도출하였다. 또한 주요인자별 세부인자 및 정량적 배점체계를 구축하였다. 주요인자는 각각 사회적 관심과 이슈(20점), 물질거동(10점), 노출가능성(30점), 독성(35점), 해양이용에의 영향(5점)을 상대적으로 부여하였으며, 독성과 물질거동 세부인자의 곱을 통하여 100점만점으로 환산가능하도록 적용하였으며, 불확실성점수(Uncertainty score)와 불확실성 비율(Uncertainty ratio)와 혼합물에 대한 고려방안을 제시하였다. 본 연구결과는 해양산업시설로부터 배출/유출되는 HNS 관리를 위하여 우선순위 선정시 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
