통합 순위 목록과 여러 가지 지표에 의거한 개별순위 목록을 비교한 결과, 전반적으로 통합 순위 목록과 잘 일치하고 있었다. 또한 각각의 개별 순위 목록은 세부적인 목적에 따라, 충분히 활용될 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 EDCs에 포함되는 농약에 대해서는 우선 순위 목록(Priority List 2)을 분리하여 제시하였다. 이미 이들 물질은 국책 사업으로 충분한 관심을 가지고 연구가 진행되고 있기 때문에 현재 사용중인 농약을 중심으로 우선 순위 목록(Priority List 1)을 작성하고 분석하였다. 자료의 결손이 크면 클 수록, 우선 순위 결과에 대한 불확실성도 커진다. 따라서 이들 자료의 결손을 합리적인 방법으로 채워나가는 것이 매우 시급한 과제이다 그러나 이들 자료의 결손이 채워지면 일부 농약의 경우는 순위가 변할 수 도 있지만, 크게 일정한 범위 밖으로는 이탈하지 않은 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 통합 우선 순위중 1∼20순위를 우선적으로 관심을 가지고 관리해야 할 물질(high priority)로 구분하고, 그 다음으로는 21∼40순위를 그 다음으로 관심을 가지고 관리해야할 물질(Medium priority)로서, 나머지 물질을 Low priority물질(41∼52순위)로 분류할 수 있다(Figure 2 참조). 여기서 Low는 이들 물질에 대한 위험성이 낮다는 것을 의미하는 것이 아니고 상대적으로 High 보다 낮다는 의미이다.

Soil quality standards (SQS) are necessary to protect the human health and soil biota from the exposure to soil pollutants. The current SQS in Korea contain only sixteen substances, and it is scheduled to expand the number of substances. Chemical ranking and scoring (CRS) system is very effective to screen the priority chemicals for the future SQS in terms of their toxicity and exposure potential. In this study, several CRS systems were extensively compared to propose the assessment factors that required for the screening of soil pollutants The CRS systems considered in this study include the CHEMS-1 (Chemical Hazard Evaluation for Management Strategies), SCRAM (Scoring and Ranking Assessment Model), EURAM (European Union Risk Ranking Method), ARET (Accelerated Reduction/Elimination of Toxics), CRSKorea, and other systems. The additional assessment factors of CRS suitable for soil pollutants were suggested. We suggest soil adsorption factor as an appropriate factor of CRS system to consider chemical transport from soil to groundwater. Other factors such as soil emission rate and cases of accident of soil pollutants were included. These results were reflected to screen the priority chemicals in Korea, as a part of the project entitled ‘Setting the Priority of Soil Contaminants'.

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.

This study prioritizes Noxious Liquid Substances (NLS) transported by sea via a risk-based database containing 596 chemicals to prepare against NLS incidents. There were 158 chemicals transported in Korean waters during 2014 and 2015, which were prioritized, and then chemicals were grouped into four categories (with rankings of 0-3) based on measures for preparedness against incident. In order to establish an effective preparedness system against NLS spill incidents on a national scale, a compiling process for NLS chemicals ranked 2~3 should be carried out and managed together with an initiative for NLS chemicals ranked 0-1. Also, it is advisable to manage NLS chemicals ranked 0-1 after considering the characteristics of NLS specifically transported through a given port since the types and characteristics of NLS chemicals relevant differ depending on the port. In addition, three designated regions are suggested: 1) the southern sector of the East Sea (Ulsan and Busan); 2) the central sector of the South Sea (Gwangyang and Yeosu); and 3) the northern sector of the West Sea (Pyeongtaek, Daesan and Incheon). These regions should be considered special management sectors, with strengthened surveillance and the equipment, materials and chemicals used for pollution response management schemes prepared in advance at NLS spill incident response facilities. In the near future, the risk database should be supplemented with specific information on chronic toxicity and updated on a regular basis. Furthermore, scientific ecotoxicological data for marine organisms should be collated and expanded in a systematic way. A system allowing for the identification Hazardous and Noxious Substances (HNS) should also be established, noting the relevant volumes transported in Korean waters as soon as possible to allow for better management of HNS spill incidents at sea.

이미 우리나라의 대기오염 수준은 심각한 것으로 평가되고 있으나(환경부, 2002a), 대기오염의 배출 및 노출 특성을 반영하지 못하고 오염물질의 독성 위주로 관리되고 있어, 사전예방의 저감 대책을 효율적으로 수립하지 못하고 있는 실정이다(환경부, 2002a; 박화성, 2003). 이러한 대기오염을 효율적으로 관리하기 위해 최근 위해도에 입각한 관리안이 수립되어야 한다고 제안되고 있으나,(아주대학교, 2002) 실제 오염물질의 모든 측면을 평가하여 우선순위를 결정하는 것은 시간이나 재원이 부족한 실정으로 위해도에 기초한 논리적으로 손쉬운 방법 개발을 필요로 한다(Gary A.D. et al. 1994; Mary B.S et al. 1997a).

전국 주요 산단 지역에서 현재 유통되고 있는 화학물질의 스크리닝 수준에서의 생태 위해성 평가를 수행하고, 체계적인 위해도 분석 시스템을 구축하기 위한 수생 및 육상 생태계가 통합된 생태 위해성 예측 모형을 개발하였다. 전국 118개 공단 중 시화반월, 전주, 대전, 대구, 청주, 울산, 구미, 여천공단 등 8개 주요 산단 지역을 program 개발을 위한 비교 대상 지역으로 선정하였고 이들 공단에서 사용되고 있는 약 1700여종의 화학물질의 물리 화학적 특성 자료와 생태 독성값의 문헌치, 추정치를 포함한 database를 구축하였다. 구축된 database를 활용하여 산단별, 화학물질별 생태 위해도를 상대적으로 비교한 결과 어류 만성의 위해도는 청주 공단>울산미포>여천 공단의 순이었고, 물벼룩 만성의 위해도는 시화반월>여천>울산미포 공단의 순이었다. 또한 산단별로 위해도 우선순위 물질을 선정하였으며 styrene, xylene 등의 위해도가 높게 나타났다. 이때 화학 물질의 수계 배출량은 TRI 자료와 사용량과의 상관관계로부터 구한 배출 계수를 적용하여 산정하였으며, 선정된 위해도 우선 순위 물질을 대상으로 실제 공단의 하천 시료를 채취, 분석하여 이 모형에 의해 예측된 생태 위해도의 타당성을 검증하고 보완하는 연구를 지속적으로 수행하여 예측 program의 신뢰도를 높이고자 한다.

In this study, we configured a system which ranks hazardous chemicals to determine their management priorities based on experts' opinions and the existing CRS (chemical ranking and scoring). Aggregate exposure of food, health functional food, oriental/herbal medicine and cosmetics have been taken into account to determine management priority. In this study, 25 hazardous chemicals were selected, such as cadmium, lead, mercury, and arsenic, etc. These 25 materials were ranked according to their 1) risk (exposure or hazard) indexes, 2) exposure source-based weight, and 3) public interests, which were also formed based on the existing priority ranking system. Cadmium was scored the highest (178.5) and bisphenol A the lowest (56.8). Ten materials -- cadmium, lead, mercury, arsenic, tar, acrylamide, benzopyrene, aluminium, benzene, and PAHs -- scored higher than 100. Eight materials -- aflatoxin, manganese, phthalate, chromium, nitrate/nitrite, ethylcarbamate, formaldehyde, and copper -- recorded scores in the range from 70 to 100. Also evaluated as potential risks were 7 materials; sulfur dioxide, ochratoxin, dioxins, PCBs, fumonisin, methyl mercury, and bisphenol A, and these materials were scored above 50. Then we compared risk index and correlation coefficient of total scores to confirm the validity of the total scores; we analyzed correlation coefficient of parameter and indicator. We discovered that the total score and weight, which has incorporated public interests, were high and statistically significant. In conclusion, the result of this study contributes to strengthening risk assessment and risk management of hazardous chemicals.

미국 환경보호청이나 세계보건기구를 포함한 유럽 등의 환경관리 기관에서는 1980년대 이후부터, 환경오염물질로 인한 인체 피해 정도를 위해도라는 확률의 개념을 도입하여 표현하고, 그 결과를 이용하여 오염물질 관리를 위한 기준치 등을 설정해 오고 있다(EPA, 1993). 국내에서도 이와 같은 위해성평가 연구가 10여년 이상 진행되어 왔고, 최근에는 환경오염물질의 위해성 평가나 관리정책의 중요성을 공히 인식하면서 이들 개념이나 연구결과들이 적절히 활용되고 있다. (중략)
