Concentrations of dioxins, furans and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCBs) were determined in crucian carp collected from eight locations mainly along the Nakdong River during 2004. Total dioxin concentrations which include concentrations of dioxins, furans and DL-PCBs ranged from 0.053 to 0.614 pg WHO-TEQ $g^{-1}$ wet wt. with a mean of $0.342{\pm}0.213$ pg WHO-TEQ $g^{-1}$ wet wt. The proportions of dioxins, furans and DL-PCBs to total dioxin TEQ were 4%, 12% and 84%, respectively. The results suggest that concentrations of dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls should be determined when total dioxin TEQ accumulated in freshwater fish is investigated.

This Pilot study identifies potential dioxin and furan sources and medical plastic wastes produced from hospital solid waste streams. In this study, air emissions of dioxins and furans from sources in the U.S., which were estimated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), were summarized. Potential loading routes of dioxins and furans to the U.S.-Canada Great Lakes region have also been identified in trcent surveys. In addition, medical and hospital solid wastes produced in typical large city hospitals were characterized as important potential sources of dioxins and furans. Plastic contents in medical Plastics Characterization Survey (MMPCS), plastics composition data were obtained from a survey of five Massachusetts Hospitals and Medical Centers. By identifying plastic wastes as a percentage of total hospital wastes, we were able to use data from a preliminary study that analyzed the waste stream of 16 major New York City hospitals (NYCMWS) characterizing the plastic content of the wasters. This study determined the types of plastic wastes included in each medical waste stream (regulated medical waste or non regulated medical waste) and it discussed the potential for recyclibility of hospital plastic wastes. The combination of the NYCMWS and the MMPCS surveys provides for the first overview of the size of the recycling task of hospital plastic wastes and the potential of dioxin elimination if dioxin generating plastics were to be eliminated from hospital use.

The chlorinated dioxins and furans have attracted considerable scientific and public concern because of their environmental persistence and super-toxicity through the foodchain. Recent dioxin scandals in several military bases have also contributed to a higher awareness on the side of food consumers as well as foodwaste combustion. However, there is continuing uncertainty over the relative importance of different sources of dioxins and furans to the soil environment. In difference to those awareness there is a main influence of potential soil contamination on the dioxin contents in groundwater. It is, therefore, important to provide a sound scientific framework and basis by which to evaluate the significance of the presence of dioxin in soils. Consequently, we have to identify the characteristics and nature of dioxin released into the soil environment, especially in agricultural aspect.

Atmospheric concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were measured at Gosan, Jeju in November 2001 and spring 2002, each time for two weeks. Primary target pollutants were organochlorine pesticides, coplanar polychlorinated biphenyls (co- PCBs), and dioxin/furans listed in the Stockholm Convention adopted in May 2001. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were also measured in order to understand the overall characteristics of the POPs distribution as well as PM$_{2.5}$, a potent carrier of POPs. In the latter part of the measurement period of November 2001, almost every pollutant of combustion origin including dioxin/furans went high probably due to influence of emissions in the nearby area. The characteristics of atmospheric environment at Gosan in this period were rather close to urban areas far from those of a background area. A severe dust storm swept for three days at the end of the measurement period of spring 2002. However, changes in pollutant concentrations were relatively small except PM$_{10}$. Nevertheless, increases in particulate PAHs and OCDD (octachlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins), mostly present in fine particles, were observed. Trends in organochlorine pesticide variations were mixed although possible volatilization of DDT residues from soil was inferred from the measurements of spring 2002.2.2.

This study examined the thermal reactions of 2,4-dibromophenol (diBP), 2,6-diBP and 2,4,6-triBP. The products obtained under pyrolytic conditions were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). 2,7-dibromodibenzo-p-dioxin (diBDD) was the major compound produced from the thermal reaction of 2,4-diBP. In addition, monoBDD and triBDDs were obtained through a process of debromination and bromination, respectively. The pyrolysis of 2,6-diBP and 2,4,6-triBP produced two major brominated dioxin isomers through direct condensation and a Smiles rearrangement. The two ortho-Brs in 2,6-diBP and 2,4,6-triBP mainly led to the production of dioxins, whereas in addition to 2,7-diBDD, 2,4-diBP produced two furans as minor products, 2,8-dibromodibenzofuran (diBDF) and 2,4,8-triBDF, through the intermediate dihydroxybiphenyl (DOHB). The maximum yield of the major dioxins was obtained at 400 oC, and decomposition by debromination at 500 oC resulted in less substituted bromodioxins.

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)

본 연구에서는 다이옥신 분석에 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 SP-2331, DB-5, DB-17, DB-DIOXIN 컬럼을 이용하여 소각로 배가스, 소각재, 대기, 토양, 어류 등을 대상으로 17RO 2,3,7,8-치환 이성체에 대한 분리능과 다이옥신 농도의 정량특성 변화를 검토하였다. 컬럼 종류에 따른 각시료별 정량 값 차이는 소각로 배가스, 토양, 소각재, 대기 그리고 어류 순으로 나타났다. 동일 시료에 대한 각 컬럼의 정량값은 DB-5가 가장 높은 농도를 나타냈으며, DB-17과 DB-DIOXIN 그리고 SP-2331 순으로 나타났다. SP-2331 컬럼을 기준으로 DB-5 컬럼은 2,3,7,8-TCDF를 최고 10배까지 높게 정량하는 것으로 나타났으며, DB-17 컬럼은 1,2,3,6,7,8-HxCDF가 상대적으로 2~3배정도 과대평가되었다. 또한 DB-DIOXIN 컬럼에서는 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD가 상대적으로 1.5~2배 과대 평가하는 것으로 나타나 각각 컬럼에 따라 특정 이성체를 상대적으로 과대 평가하는 것으로 나타났다.

먹는물 처리 전후 다이옥신류의 동족체 패턴 및 제거율을 평가하기 위해서 42개의 일본 정수처리장에서 2년간 122개의 시료를 채취해 dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) 및 coplanar polychlorinated biphenyls (Co-PCBs)를 분석하였다. 다이옥신류의 평균 농도와 독성등가값 (toxic equivalent, TEQ)은 원수와 처리수에서 각각 60.24 pg/L (0.14 pg-WHO-TEQ/L), 4.15 pg/L (0.016 pg-WHO-TEQ/L)였다. 먹는물의 다이옥신류 기여 농도는 일일섭취량 (tolerable daily intake (TDI), 4 pg-TEQ/kg/day)의 0.016%이었다. 정수처리에 의한 다이옥신류의 평균 TEQ 제거율은 88% 이상이었다. 그러나 112개의 샘플에서 2, 3, 7, 8-TeCDF (tetrachlorodibenzofuran)의 농도는 17% 증가하였다. 따라서, 2, 3, 7, 8-TeCDF의 농도에 영향을 미치는 공정을 파악하기 위하여 고도정수처리 및 일반정수처리에서의 제거율을 조사하였다. 다이옥신 동족체(congener)인 TeCDF와 non-ortho-PCB는 고도처리 및 표준정수처리에서 염소소독처리 후 TEQ 농도가 증가함을 보여, 먹는물 중 2, 3, 7, 8-TeCDF 농도는 염소소독처리에 의해 상승한 것으로 밝혀졌다.

국내 연안의 다양한 양식장의 퇴적물과 양식생물에 대하여 다이옥신류(PCDD/Fs), 다이옥신류피씨비(DLPCBs), 및 브롬화방염제(PBDEs)의 잔류수준을 조사하고 분포를 평가하였다. 양식장 퇴적물 중 PCDD/Fs, DLPCBs, PBDEs는 각각 0.03~2.9(평균${\pm}$표준편차, $1.2{\pm}0.89$) pg $WHO_{2005}$-TEQ $g^{-1}$ 건중량(dw), 불검출~1.1($0.09{\pm}0.19$) pg $WHO_{2005}$-TEQ $g^{-1}$ dw, 불검출~16.6($2.96{\pm}3.53$) ng $g^{-1}$ dw 수준으로 검출되었다. 또한 양식생물 체내 함유량은 각각 불검출~0.24($0.07{\pm}0.06$) pg $WHO_{2005}$-TEQ $g^{-1}$ 습중량(ww), 불검출~0.11($0.04{\pm}0.04$) pg $WHO_{2005}$-TEQ $g^{-1}$ ww, 0.05~0.29($0.13{\pm}0.06$) ng $g^{-1}$ ww 수준이었다. 국내 연안 중 동해안과 남해안에 위치한 양식장 퇴적물 중 총다이옥신류(PCDD/Fs+DLPCBs)와 PBDEs의 농도는 서해안보다 약 4~7배 높은 수준을 보였다. 퇴적물에서는 총다이옥신류에 대한 PCDD/Fs 기여율이 대부분(평균 94%)을 차지했지만, 양식생물에서는 DLPCBs가 약 33% 수준으로 퇴적물에 비해 높은 기여율을 보였다. PBDEs 중에서는 양식장 퇴적물과 생물 모두에서 BDE209가 가장 높게 검출되었다. 이전 연구와 비교했을 때, 국내연안 퇴적물과 양식생물 중 PCDD/Fs, DLPCBs, PBDEs의 잔류수준은 대체로 감소하는 추세에 있는 것으로 판단된다.
