Dioxin CRM for QA/QC was prepared with fly ash collected from municipal waste incinerator. With that CRM inter-laboratory test was carried out. The collected fly ash was conducted several homogeneity steps including sievings and mixing. Homogeneity test and estimation of uncertainty was performed by one-way ANOVA based on ISO guide 35. Compared concentrations of fly ash of participants to CRM values, PCDDs value was lower than that of CRM in almost participants, and showed higher PCDFs concentration than that of CRM. Although there is a small difference in PCDD/Fs concentrations with congeners of extract, the result was close to mean value.

The elution patterns of seventeen 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDDs/Fs and 12 dioxin-like PCBs were studied by both manual open columns and automatic parallel LC columns in cleanup procedure. PCDDs/Fs and non-ortho-PCBs from other mono-ortho-PCBs were separated on automatic LC column, whereas they were not separated on an open manual column. The elution study on two cleanup methods was carried out using the PAR solution of unlabeled congeners and checked the recovery of each congener. Total recoveries of cleanup fractionation were ranged between 61.9 ~ 96.0% for PCDDs/Fs and 70.4 ~ 79.0% for PCBs by manual open columns and 71.8 ~ 104.5% for PCDDs/Fs and 61.3-120.3% for PCBs by automatic parallel LC columns, respectively. Unfortunately, #169-HxCB and 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD were not separated on DB-5MS capillary column. The ions of 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD were selected at M/M+2 instead of M+2/M+4 suggested by EPA method 1613. It is possible to discriminate 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD and PCB #169 in HRGC/HRMS analysis.

To evaluate homologue patterns and removal efficiency before and after water treatment, the concentrations of dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and coplanar polychlorinated biphenyls (Co-PCBs) were determined in 122 samples from 42 drinking water treatment plants throughout Japan over a two year period. The mean concentrations and toxic equivalent (TEQ) values of dioxins in raw and treated waters were 60.24 pg/L (0.14 pg-WHO-TEQ/L) and 4.15 pg/L (0.016 pg-WHO-TEQ/L), respectively. The dioxins contribution ratio of drinking water in relation to dioxins tolerable daily intake (TDI, 4 pg-TEQ/kg/day) was 0.016%. The mean TEQ removal rate of dioxins by drinking water treatment was over 88%. However, the mean removal rate of 2, 3, 7, 8-TeCDF (tetrachlorodibenzofuran) by water treatment in the 122 samples was minus 17%. Therefore, to identify which process affected the level of 2, 3, 7, 8-TeCDF, the removal efficiencies at both the advanced and conventional water treatment plants were investigated. For the TEQ removal rate across the processes, the dioxin congeners, TeCDF and non-ortho-PCBs remarkably indicated minus values after chlorination in both the advanced and conventional water treatments plant. From this study, the level of 2, 3, 7, 8-TeCDF was found to be increased as a result of chlorination.

The concentrations and TEQ levels of PCDFs/PCDDs in human aipose tissue and first breast milk were analyzed by high resolution gas chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry. The human adipose tissue samples measured in this study have been collected at hospital in Seoul. The total concentration and TEQ level of PCDFs were showed 5.812 pg/g and 1.485 pgTEQ/g. The total concentration and TEQ level of PCDDs were showed 26.648 pg/g and 1.176 pgTEQ/g, respectively. This paper also reported dioxin levels in 20 breast milks of Korean mothers from hospital in Seoul National University. Total concentration and TEQ levels of PCDFs were showed 7.019 pg/mL and 0.177 pgTEQ/mL, respectively. Total concentrations and TEQ levels of PCDDs were showed 14.224 pg/mL and 0.693 pgTEQ/mL, respectively. According to the contribution of dioxin congeners in samples, PCDDs was higher than PCDFs. And OCDD had the highest concentration.

The treatment efficiency of PCBs containing wastes has been investigated. The samples treated by electron beam and de-chlorination method were analyzed to verify the byproducts before treatment and after treatment. In the treated samples by electron beam irradiation, PCBs were not detected by comparing the peak matching using the Korean official waste test method. On the other hand, PCBs congeners were detected by analyzing individual isotope method using HRGC/HRMS. Most of PCB congeners in waste were decomposed to 3-chlorobiphenyls, lower chlorinated congener produced during the treatment of electron beam. In the chemical dechlorination treatment, it was found that the concentrations of PCBs in treated samples were lower than those of regulation criteria in Waste & POPs management law and the after treatment concentration were satisfied to the regulation criteria. Also, dioxins were not observed after the physio-chemical treatment processes of PCBs containing wastes.

Recently, due to the primary emphasis of environmental problem, the proper selection of the prevention technology systems necessary for Dioxin treatment has been one of the critical issues in the industrial sector. This paper shows how an Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) model can be used for assessing the performance of selected prevention technology systems: SDA/BF-SCR, SNCR-SDA/BF, SDA/BF, EP-WS-SCR, ED-WS, and EP-SCR-WS essential for Dioxin treatments. The final results show that SNCR-SDA/BF is the most attractive prevention technology system to use in an incinerator system, followed by SDA/BF-SCR, SDA/BF and EP-WS-SCR. This is consistent with the information that we found with respect to the elements that were taken into consideration. Sensitivity analysis is also provided here.

스톡홀름협약('04. 5.17 발효)은 PCBs를 다이옥신과 함께 대표적인 관리대상물질로 정하여 지구적 차원의 근절 노력을 본격화하고 있으며, 우리나라도 최근 조사결과 국내 변압기 중 상당수가 PCBs에 오염된 것으로 밝혀져 PCBs에 대한 안전관리대책 마련이 시급한 실정이며 이에 따라, 2007년까지 PCBs 함유 전력장비에 대한 국가목록작성 및 우선 관리대상 설정을 위하여 유입식 변압기에 대한 전국사용현황 파악이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전국 유입변압기에 대한 PCBs 오염 측정 분석 조사 수행을 위해 전기설비 수용가내 유입변압기 현황을 바탕으로 우선 관리 대상을 선정하고 처리 대상 유입변압기에 대한 안전처리 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Dioxin contamination on agroproducts is one of the most important issue in food safety. Herein, we measured concentration of 17 dioxins polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and 14 dioxin like-polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCBs) in the main grain (rice and barley) that were produced in Korea. The 36 rice samples were collected from rice processing complex at eight provinces, and the average concentrations of each province were ranged from 2.98 pg/g wet weight (w.w) to 4.98 pg/g w.w. as total PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs. The seven barley samples were collected from Jeon-nam and Jeon-buk provinces, and their average total concentrations of PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs were 3.00 pg/g w.w. and 3.24 pg/g w.w. respectively. The residual amounts and toxic equivalent (TEQ) of DL-PCBs in rice and barley were higher than PCDD/Fs. The average total TEQ of rice and barley were 0.0056 pg-TEQ/g and 0.0092 pg-TEQ/g on lower bound estimation respectively. Estimated daily intake of dioxins from rice and barley were calculated 1.03 pg-TEQ/day/person and 0.0534 pg-TEQ/day/person respectively. These were estimated 0.46% and 0.03% of Korean TDI based on 55 kg body weight.
