Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) vary in their carcinogenic potencies. The more potent PAHs carcinogens are 3-methylcholantheren and 7, 12- dimethyl benzo(a)anthracene, while dibenzo(a, c)anthracene has very little carcinogenic activity. Risk assessment of chemical mixture containing various congeners which toxic potency are each different, are conducted using toxic equivalency factors(TEFs).(omitted)

Airborne suspended particulates were collected by an Andersen high volume air sampler in a traffic area of Seoul from September 1990 to August 1991. Origanic matter extracted from particulates, their fractions, namely acidic, basic, neutral and carcinogenic subfractions (PAHs, nitroarenes) in neutral fractions were assayed for mutagenicity on TA98, TA100 and TA98NR deficient Salmonella strains, use of the pre-incubation method. The relative contribution to total mutanenicity of organic matters was highest in neutral fraction and was lowest in basic fraction. Among subfractions, that of neutral fraction was higher nitroarenes subfraction compared to PAHs subfraction. While the carcinogenic effect of benzo[a]pyrene was calculated as 0.96 persons/million persons based on unit risk estimates by extrapolation method, life time excess cancer risk estimate of EOM, neutral, PAH fraction based on their mutagenicity was calculated as 52, 42, 3.8 persons/million persons, respectively. These findings indicate that the mutagenic hazard of the partciculate, air organic complex mixture, may be dependent upon the mutagen composition in the particulate and interactions each of them. Therfore, health risk from air organic complex mixtures based on mutagenicity might be useful indicator for evaluation of actual risk.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are ubiquitous and can contaminate the food chain. A study monitoring PCDD/Fs in imported meat was conducted at the National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service (NVRQS, Republic of Korea) in order to maintain food safety from the bioaccumulative PCDD/Fs. Seventeen PCDD/Fs with toxic equivalency factors (TEFs) established by World Health Organization (WHO, 1998) were analyzed in imported beef, pork, and chicken by high resolution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (HR-GC/MS). Results of the monitoring for the last 5 years are presented. The levels of PCDD/Fs were similar to other studies except two unusually high concentrations in pork and beef. Excessive levels greater than the Korean provisional maximum residue limit of PCDD/Fs were found in a sample of pork imported from Chile and a sample of beef imported from U.S, and those products were rejected and returned. There was no obvious trend or differences with respect to time or origin of meat in this study.

PAHs 화합물은 유기탄소화합물의 불완전연소에 의해 주로 발생하는데, 일반인들은 대기오염에 의한 호흡노출과 가열조리식품의 경구섭취가 주요 인체노출경로로 알려지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 PAHs 화합물에 오염된 식품이 식생활에 많은 부분을 차지하고 있어 우리나라 대표식품을 참고로 가정식과 외식의 식단을 작성하고 작성한 식단을 근거로 식품 중 PAHs 화합물 오염도를 분석하여, 분석된 PAHs 화합물의 오염도 자료를 활용한 가정식과 외식 1끼 식사를 기준으로 인체노출량을 비교하고, 성인 하루 가정식 2회, 외식 1회 섭취시의 1일인체노출량을 평가하였다. 다빈도${\cdot}$다소비식품에서 PAHs 화합물 오염도를 분석한 결과 총 PAHs 농도는 $2.00\~141.28\;ug/kg$의 범위로 검출되었으며, 멸치볶음이 가장 높게 나타났다. 상대독성계수(TEFS)를 활용하여 환산한 독성등가량은 $0.03\~1.31\;ugTEQ_{BaP}/kg$ 범위였고, 가장 높은 값을 가진 식품은 햄버거이었다. 식품별 오염도와 노출변수들을 고려하여 산출한 끼니별 가정식과 외식에서의 PAHs 화합물 평균인체노출량은 각각 $2.4\times10^{-3}\;ugTEQ_{BaP}kg/meal$와 $4.0\times10^{-3}\;ugTEQ_{BaP}/kg/meal$으로 외식이 가정식보다 PAHs화합물의 인체노출이 1.7배가 높은 수준으로 나타났다 햄버거, 숯불쇠고기구이, 숯불삼겹살구이, 고등어구이 등은 PAHs화합물 오염도와 독성등가량 및 1회분식품섭취량이 모두 높아 PAHs화합물의 주요 노출기여식품인 것을 알 수 있었다. 가정식에서 미역국이 $1.8\times10^{-3}\;ugTEQ_{BaP}/kg/meal$으로, 외식에서는 햄버거가$3.0\times10^{-3}\;ugTEQ_{BaP}/kg/meal$으로 기여도가 가장 높았다. 하루 3회 식사를 고려한 1일 PAHs화합물인체노출량수준은 $8.0\times10^{-3}\~9.7\times10^{-3}\;ug/kg/day$이었다. 본 연구 결과가 PAHs 화합물의 안전성평가와 기준규격설정의 필요성 및 식품 안전관리를 위한 규제를 제정하는 기초 자료가 되길 바라며, PAHs 화합물의 고노출상황을 줄일 수 있는 개개인의 계획된 식단 작성시, 이에 대한 정보를 제공하고자 한다.

This study was conducted to investigate seasonal distributions of fine particles ($PM_{2.5}$) and associated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at three cities. $PM_{2.5}$ samples were collected on glass fiber filters at urban (Chuncheon), metropolitan (Seoul), and industrial complex sites (Ulsan) from September, 2002 to February, 2004 using the Andersen FH 95 Particulate Sampler. About five 24-hour samples were collected from each site per season. The filters were analyzed for mass and six selected PAHs concentrations. $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations were the highest either in winter or spring, which could be attributed to the increase of fossil fuel combustion in winter or the transport of yellow sand to the Korean peninsula from China in spring, respectively. Regional $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations were higher in the order of Seoul>Chuncheon>Ulsan without statistical difference among cities. The filters were extracted using dichloromethane in an ultrasonicator and analyzed for six PAHs (anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene, chrysene, and benzo[a]pyrene) with HPLC. Total PAHs concentrations were statistically different among seasons in each site, and the highest concentrations were observed in winter at each sampling site. For total samples collected, the median total PAHs concentrations in Chuncheon ($4.6ng/m^3$) and Seoul ($4.4ng/m^3$) were approximately two times higher than that in Ulsan ($2.1ng/m^3$). Chrysene was a component found in the highest proportion among total PAHs at each site. Carcinogenic risks calculated based on the BaP toxic equivalency factors (TEFs) over the whole sampling period were higher in the order of Chuncheon>Seoul>Ulsan. This study suggests that the atmosphere of Chuncheon is contaminated with particulate matter and PAHs at the levels equivalent to those of Seoul and that an appropriate measure needs to be taken to mitigate human health risks from inhalation exposure to airborne fine particles.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)의 인체에 대한 위해성 정도를 판단하기 위해 PAHs의 대표독성물질인 benzo(a)pyrene의 독성을 기준으로 하는 TEFs를 적용하여, PAHs의 주요노출식품에 의한 위해성 평가를 수행하였다. 숯불구이쇠고기, 숯불구이돼지고기, 숯불구이닭고기, 햄, 베이컨, 및 식용유지 등을 대상으로 PAHs 오염도를 모니터링 한 결과 숯불구이닭고기에서 총 PAMs농도가 9.3ppb로 가장 높게 검출되었으며 각각의 congener들 모두 다른 식품에서 보다 높게 나타났다. 반면에 숯불구이쇠고기, 베이컨, 숯불구이돼지고기, 햄 및 식용유지의 총 PAHs는 각각 0.2ppb, 0.3ppb, 0.7ppb, 0.8ppb 및 1.2ppb로 비교적 낮은 값을 나타냈다. TEFs값을 적용하여 환산된 오염도 값의 경우에서도 숯불구이닭고기가 가장 높은 값을 보였고, congener들의 농도를 비교했을 때 숯불구이닭고기, 숯불구이돼지고기, 베이컨, 숯불구이쇠고기 및 햄에서 모두 BaP의 농도가 각각 1.88 $\mu\textrm{g}$-TEQ$_{BaP}$/kg, 0.19 $\mu\textrm{g}$-TEQ$_{BaP}$/kg, 0.08 $\mu\textrm{g}$-TEQ$_{BaP}$/kg, 0.04 $\mu\textrm{g}$-TEQ$_{BaP}$/kg 및 0.02 $\mu\textrm{g}$-TEQ$_{BaP}$/kg로 congener들 중 가장 높게 나타났고 식용유지에서는 dibenzo(a,h)anthracene의 농도가 0.21 $\mu\textrm{g}$-TEQ$_{BaP}$/kg으로 가장 높은 값을 나타냈다. 우리나라 사람들의 PHAs 주요노출식품 섭취로 인한 만성1일 인체 노출량은 4.32${\times}$$10^{-4}$ $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg/day으로 산출되었으며 선정된 식품 중에서 숯불구이 닭고기의 노출기여도가 가장 높았다. PAMs의 초과발암 위해도는 만성1일 인체노출량과 BaP의 발암력인 7.3 (mg/kg/day)$^{-1}$을 고려하였을 때 3.44${\times}$$10^{-6}$ , 백만명당 3∼4명 수준이었다. 우리나라 대표식단을 통한 PAMs 노출량을 반영할 수 있는 위해성 평가가 추후 계속되어야 할 것으로 사료된다. 할 것으로 사료된다.
