This study is carried out to investigate the discharge characteristics of PCDD/Fs from municipal solid waste(MSW) incinerator, According to the results measured at several air pollution control devices(APCDs), the largest amount of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans(PCDD/Fs) are found at selective catalytic reduction (SCR) inlet. Therefore, it concludes that the electrostatic precipitator(EP) provides the appropriate condition for the formation of PCDD/Fs. The concentration of PCDD/Fs shows a large difference with the season. The concentration of PCDD/Fs in winter is higher than that of autumn, which suggests that the formation of PCDD/Fs is affected by the MSW components and the operation condition of municipal solid waste incinerator(MSWI).

소각로에서 배출되는 다이옥신은 위해성 문제로 논란이 계속되고 있으며 현재 국내 도시 소각로의 경우 배출 기준치를 만족시켜야 하는 둥의 규제를 받고 있다. 또한 앞으로는 사업장소각로에서도 다이옥신 정기 측정이 의무화되는 등 배출원에서의 다이옥신 관리가 점차 더 강화될 예정이다. 이처럼 소각로에서 배출된 다이옥신은 대기 중 확산 및 이송과정에서 건·습식 침적과정을 통해 각 환경매체로 재분포되어 생물체에 농축 및 최종적으로는 인체로 유입되기도 한다. (중략)

General information is summarized, that is necessary to introduce a scientific assessment of the human health and exposure issue concerning dioxin and dioxin-like compound. Scientific literatures were reviewed to assess the background exposures to the dioxin-like compounds for normal residents. Epidemiologic studies were also reviewed to assess malignant and nonmalignant sweets of dioxins. In 1997, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) as a human carcinogen, primarily based on occupational cohort studies. The US Environmental Protection Agency made the same decision in it's Draft Dioxin Reassessment. Epidemiologic evidences point to a generalized excess of all cancers, without any pronounced excess at specific sites. Reported non-cancer effects included a range of conditions affecting most systems. Among them, chloracne, elevation in gamma glutamyl transferase(GGT), and alterations in reproductive hormones are related to TCDO, Other adverse outcomes, such as lipid concentrations, diabetes, circulatory and heart diseases, immunologic disorders, neurobehavioral effects, and developmental outcomes require further study before their respective relationships to TCDD can be more definitively assessed.

The main route of exposure of the human population to polychlorinated dibenzop-dioxins(PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans(PCDFs) is through the diet. However in Korea, there are few studies on PCDDs/PCDFs levels in environmental samples and foods. The purpose of this study is to analyze concentration of PCDDs/PCDFs in Korean retail foods and to estimate dietary daily intake of them. 9 samples from animal food and 10 samples from plant food were analysed for PCDDs/PCDFs. Concentrations of PCDDs/PCDFs ranged from 0.02(milk) to 5.39(anchovy)pg/g. TEQ levels appeared in order of fish/shellfish, meat, vegetable, cereal, fruit and milk, and these values ranged from 0.0008 to 0.3153pgTEQ/g. The daily intake of PCDDs/PCDFs via food was calculated to be about 37.7pgTEQ/day and these values are equivalent to 0.75 pgTEQ/kg b.w./day, under consideration of 50kg for body weight. The daily intake of PCDDs/PCDFs via food was lower than that in other countries. From these results, it is important to note that fish/shellfish intake is one of the main sources of PCDDs/PCDFs exposure in Korea.

지난 및 년간 정부에서는 소각시설에서 배출되는 다이옥신 등 대기오염물질을 저감하기 위하여 많은 노력을 기울여 왔다. 먼저, '97년 7월 17일, 폐기물관리법 시행규칙을 개정하여 생활폐기물 소각시설에 대한 다이옥신 규제기준$^{1)}$ 을 '99년 7월 1일부터 기존 소각시설에 대해서는 0.5ng-TEQ/N㎥을 신설 소각시설에 대해서는 0.1ng-TEQ/N㎥으로 제정했으며, 또한 소각시설의 광역화, 신규 소각시설의 설치비용 및 기존 소각설비의 개ㆍ보수비용의 일부에 대한 국고지원, 소각처리 기술지원단에 의한 기술평가 및 자문활동, 다이옥신 공인측정ㆍ분석기관의 지정ㆍ고시, 생활폐기물 소각시설 설치ㆍ운영지침의 제정 등 짧은 기간임에도 불구하고 소각시설에서 배출되는 다이옥신을 저감하기 위하여 각종 정책이나 제도를 시행 또는 개선해왔다.

One pulp manufacture facility was selected as surveying facility to examine the discharged amount and generation mechanism of dioxins excepts for bleaching stage wastewater. In recovery and finishing process, 2,3,7,8-TCDF, OCDD and OCDF were mainly detected, and the ratio of PCDDs and 1,2,3,4,7,8-HxCDD as the concentration of 2,3,7,8-substitute isomer were discharged which is known as the typical emission pattern of pulp and paper manufacture facility, and the 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD and 1,2,3,4,7,8-HxCDD were discharged more than 90% in toxic equivalent concentration. Also, the OCDD and 2,3,7,8-TCDF for 2,3,7,8-isomer concentration, and 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD and 2,3,7,8-TCDF as toxic equivalent concentration were discharged in effluent. The detected PCDDs/PCDFs concentration were surveyed 0.2266 ng-TEQ/L for influent and 0.0377 ng-TEQ/L for effluent.

An establishment of dioxin-reduction operating skill for medium sized incineration facility is urgently needed in Korea with nearly 90% of medium sized incineration. Using lattice stoker incineration processing the capacity of 20 tons industrial general waste per day, similar properties of the household waste, dioxin-reduction is derived in optimum operating condition and parameters. As a result, CO haunting which is the minimization of frequency is found as the major parameter to minimize dioxin.

다이옥신의 독성은 체중의 감소, 간 대사효소의 증가, 면역억제, 정자 수의 감소, 발암 촉진 등 매우 다양한 양상을 나타내고 있다. 그러나 아직도 다이옥신이 어떻게 다양한 독성을 나타내는지에 대한 설명은 미비한 상태이다. 다만 다이옥신에 의해 증가되는 싸이토크롬 P450 lAl (CYPlAl) 효소 유전자의 전사활성화 기전연구를 통하여 다이옥신의 작용은 생체 내에 존재하는 다이옥신 수용체에 의하여 매개된다는 사실을 알게 되었다. (중략)

월남전 고엽제 피해와 도시 폐기물 소각로 문제로 일반에게 알려진 다이옥신(Dioxins and Furans)은 기존의 연구결과 토양, 호수와 강의 바닥, 대기, 수계생물, 동식물 및 인체조직 등 거의 모든 자연환경에 존재하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 특히 도시의 대기는 도시 폐기물 소각로나 자동차 등 화것 연료의 연소에 의해 배출되는 다이옥신, PCBs, PAH 등 많은 오염 물질을 함유하고 있는데 이 중 독성이 가장 높은 물질이 다이옥신이다.(중략)

대구효성가톨릭대 양재호교수는 인체 피부가 다이옥신에 민감하다는 사실에 착안하여 인체 피부세포를 모델로 사용하여 인체에서도 암을 유발한다는 사실을 증명한 과학자이다. 양교수의 연구결과는 다이옥신이 인체 세포에서 암을 일으킬 수 있음을 증명한 최초의 보고서로 평가되고 있으며 97년 세계보건기구 산하의 암연구기구도 다이옥신을 인체발암물질로 분류하는데 중요한 자료로 활용하고 있다.
