Objective: This study was carried out to determine the depositional characteristics of pine needles, pine tree bark, moss, and soil, which are used as a passive air sampler (PAS) of atmospheric polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Methods: All four media were sampled from the same site. PCB concentrations were analyzed by GC/MSD, and the lipid contents were measured using the gravimetric method. Results: The total PCB concentration (IUPAC No. 28, 52, 101, 138, 153, 180) was the highest in soil (227.97 pg/g dry), followed by pine needles (71.36 pg/g dry), pine tree bark (44.58 pg/g dry), then moss (21.91 pg/g dry). Pine needles contained the highest lipid contents (21.31 mg/g dry), whereas soil (10.01 mg/g dry), pine tree bark (4.85 mg/g dry), and moss (1.92 mg/g dry) contained less. The concentration of lower-chlorinated PCBs was relatively high in pine needles, pine tree bark and moss, but not in soil. The PCB concentrations were proportional to their lipid contents in pine needles, pine tree bark and moss, but a different trend was revealed in soil. Conclusions: The PCBs concentrations in the media were affected by various factors including atmospheric PCB concentrations, lipid contents, and depositional pathways. However, each of these factors had a varying influence depending on the type of medium.

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.

The aim of this research was to introduce a new rapid analysis method (heating of the multi-layer silica gel column/alumina column) for polychlorinated biphenyls in insulating oils, and to compare our new method with the analytical method currently used in Korea. The entire pretreatment procedure was completed within 2 hr, using about only 20 mL of solvents via our rapid analytical method. Furthermore, the pretreatment procedure can always be uniformly performed, regardless of oil type (JIS 1~JIS 7 and KS 1~KS 7). The recovery rates were more than 89%, with relative standard deviations below 6.0%. In conclusion, this rapid analytical method could reduce the pretreatment time and solvent usage by 1/10 and between 1/25 and 1/50, respectively, compared to analytical method currently used in Korea.

The effect of moisture content an the reductive dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls and population dynamics of dechlorinating microorganisms was investigated in sediments spiked with Aroclor 1248. In sediment slurry with an overlying water layer, dechlorination ensued after a 4-week lag period and reduced the average number of chlorines per biphenyl from 3.91 to 3.15 after 48 weeks. In the sediments of reduced moisture content, however, dechlorination occurred after a lag period of 12 weeks and decreased the average number of chlorines per biphenyl to only 3.62, and the dechlorination rate was also slower. When the population size of dechlorinators, methanogens, and sulfate-reducing bacteria was determined by the most probable number techniques, however, no difference was found between the slurry and the low-moisture sediments, except for methanogens. The growth of dechlorinating populations coincided with the end of the lag period and they then increased by 3 orders of magnitude in two conditions. Specific growth rate of dechlorinators showed little difference between the slurry and the low-moisture sediments; however, growth yield was high in the sediments of reduced moisture content. The reduction of sediment moisture decreased the dechlorination rate and extent of PCBs but did not inhibit the growth of PCB dechlorinators.

3,3',4,4'-Tetrachlorobiphenyl (IUPAC PCB77) is one of seven indicative polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the surface sediments. The current study presents a novel polyclonal antibody for the determination of the PCB77 using indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Under optimum conditions, PCB77 was determined within the concentration range of 0.01-100 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, with a detection limit of 0.057 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$. The assays were tested for their cross-reactivity profiles using 3 selected congeners and 4 Aroclor products. The assays were highly specific for coplanar PCB congeners, but less specific for Aroclor1248. The spiked recoveries from five sediment samples were 86%-114% for PCB77 from ELISA, which were satisfactory. The current study demonstrated that the developed antiserum and immunoassay procedure can be used to detect PCB77 in environmental samples. The results of the sediment analysis were confirmed by conventional GC/ECD.

부산 남항은 도심 속의 다기능 항만으로 공동어시장, 선박수리소, 연근해 및 원양어선 접안시설 등이 설치되어 산업 활동이 활발하다. 산업 활동으로 인해 발생한 유해화학물질이 해저퇴적물에 지속적으로 유입되어 축적되면 수생생태계와 인간에게 영향을 끼칠 수 있다. 따라서 부산 남항에서 2013년 11월(1차), 2014년 11월(2차)에 8개 정점을 선정하여, 해저퇴적물 중 다환방향족탄화수소류(PAHs), 폴리염화비페닐(PCBs), 부틸계유기주석화합물(BTs)를 분석하여 부산 남항의 농도분포 특성 및 유입원을 밝혀내고자 하였다. 연구 지역에서 PAHs의 평균 농도는 1차, 2차 조사에서 각각 4174.0 ng/g-d.w., 1919.0 ng/g-d.w., PCBs의 평균 농도는 1차, 2차 조사에서 각각 166.3 ng/g-d.w., 21 ng/g-d.w.를 보였으며, BTs의 평균 농도는 1차, 2차 조사에서 각각 50.9 ng/g-d.w., 30.8 ng/g-d.w.를 나타내었다. 유기오염물질의 검출농도는 1차에 비해 2차에서 해저퇴적물 수거로 인해 낮아지는 경향을 보였으며, 본 조사에서 PAHs, PCBs, BTs 유입원은 각각 연소기원, 육상기원, 도시하수 또는 산업폐수에 의한 기원을 확인 할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 금속담지촉매출 이용한 수첨탈염소화 반응에 의하여 절연유에 포함된 PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls)의 무해화를 통한 절연유의 재이용 가능성을 고찰하였다. 금속담지촉매로는 0.98 wt% Pt 및 0.79 wt% Pd가 알루미나에 담지 되어 있는 촉매와 12.8 wt%의 Ni이 알루미나에 담지된 촉매 및 57.6 wt%의 Ni이 실리카-알루미나에 담지되어 있는 촉매를 이용하였다. 반응매질로서 생성물과의 분리의 용이성 및 환경측면을 고려하여 초임계이산화탄소, 초임계프로판 및 초임계이소부탄 등 초임계유체를 이용하였다. 수첨탈염소화 후 잔류 PCBs는 전자포획형 검출기가 장착되어 있는 가스크로마토그래피를 이용하여 분석하였다. 반응온도, 반응시간, 촉매 종류 및 초임계유체가 절연유 내 포함된 PCBs의 수첨탈염소반응에 미치는 영향을 자세히 조사하였다. 용매를 사용하지 않을 경우 탈염소화반응은 Ni > Pd > Pt의 순으로 빠르게 진행되었으며 이는 담지된 금속의 양 및 금속입자의 크기에 기인한 것으로 생각된다. 반응온도가 $175^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 초임계이산화탄소가 탈염소화반응에 가장 효과적인 매질인 것을 확인하였다.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were measured in soil samples of Ansung in Kyonggi-province to investigate concentration distribution of PBDEs and PCBs. The 10 soil samples were collected using a stainless steel hand-held corer that was cleaned before and after each sample using hexane. Total concentration of PBDE and PCBs were 2,205.3 and 348.1 pg/g dry weight (DW) in soil sample, respectively. BDE-209 showed as the most abundant congener in soil samples which was related to imported amount and usage amount of deca-BDE technical mixture in Korea. Also, BDE-99, BDE-47, BDE-100 deposition in soil sample was higher than other congeners and was related to the imported and usage amount reported for penta-BDE technical mixture in Korea. Correlation coefficient between PBDE contribution and technical mixture formulation (Bromokal 70-5DE) were significant (r=0.91, p<0.01) which suggests the influence of sources in this technical mixtures.

울산만 내 퇴적물에 대하여 다이옥신/퓨란류(polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans, PCDD/Fs)와 다이옥신류 피씨비(dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls, DL-PCBs), PBDEs(polybrominated diphenyl ethers)의 잔류수준을 조사하고 분포를 평가하였다. 33개 정점에서 채취한 퇴적물 중 PCDD/Fs, DL-PCBs, PBDEs는 각각 0.11~4.86(평균${\pm}$표준편차, $1.81{\pm}1.04$) pg $WHO_{2005}$-TEQ $g^{-1}$ 건중량(dw), 0.06~44.2($4.02{\pm}7.99$) pg $WHO_{2005}$-TEQ $g^{-1}$ dw, 2.81~63.8($19.4{\pm}13.9$) ng $g^{-1}$ dw 수준으로 검출되었다. 총 다이옥신류(PCDD/Fs+DL-PCBs)에 대하여 DL-PCBs가 약 88%로 PCDD/Fs에 비해 높은 기여율을 나타내었다. 또한, 울산만 내부에 위치한 정점의 퇴적물은 외부 정점에 비해 높은 농도수준을 보였다 (p<0.05). 총 다이옥신류 중 PCDD/Fs는 고염소의 DD/Fs에서 높은 기여율을 차지하였으며, 이성질체의 분포패턴은 연소공정의 영향이 큰 공업지역 퇴적물의 특성을 나타내었다. DL-PCBs는 PCB77, -105, -118가 주요 이성질체로써, 상업용 PCB 제품과 분포특성이 유사하게 나타났다. 또한, 퇴적물 내 PBDEs 분포에서 BDE209가 주요 이성질체로 나타났으며, 이는 상업용 deca-BDE 제품의 사용량에 의한 영향으로 판단된다.
