초록

비소는 암 등의 질병 치료 및 생활용품 등의 원료로 사용되는 등 산업 활동 전반에 걸쳐 다양한 용도로 사용되어 온 원소이다. 그러나 토양 매립 폐기물 처리, 금속 제조 및 화석 연료의 사용 등으로 인해 환경 생태계를 오염시킬 수 있다. 특히 비소는 토양 및 미생물에 의한 자연적 요인과 산업활동과 같은 인위적 요인으로 발생 할 수 있어 환경매체 중에 광범위하게 존재하기 때문에 다른 원소에 비해 인체에 노출될 가능성이 크다. 따라서 본 연구는 기존의 단순농도 평가 및 단일 매체 중심의 오염원 관리의 단점을 극복하기 위해 다경로(흡입, 경구, 접촉 등)/다매체(대기, 수질, 토양 등) 거동 특성을 반영하여 인체 위해성평가를 수행하였다. 결과적으로 노출경로별 비소가 인체에 가장 많이 노출되는 경로는 경구에 의한 기여도로 57~96 %를 차지했다. 상대적으로 다른 연령군에 비해 영유아에서 높은 노출량을 보였다. 이는 성인에 비해 체중이 적고 체표면적이 커서 유해물질에 더 많이 노출 될 수 있기 때문이다. 기존 연구에서 보고된 바와 같이, 비소는 경구 경로 중 먹는물의 기여도가 대부분의 연령층에서 주요 노출 경로를 보였다. 최종적으로 노출량평가 결과에 근거하여 발암위해도 및 비발암위해도를 산정하였다. 산정결과 CTE 및 RME에 대한 발암위해도는 2.3E-05~6.7E-05의 범위로 모든 연령 군의 전체 시나리오에서 발암확률 1.0E-04을 초과하지 않았으므로, 발암위해를 무시할만한 수준으로 판단된다. 반면 RME에 대한 발암위해도는 6.4E-05~1.8E-04의 범위로써 영유아 및 미취학아동 군에서 1.3E-04~1.8E-04의 범위로 초과발암확률 1.0E-04을 초과하였다. CTE 및 RME에 대한 비발암위해도 결과는 위해지수가 각각 5.4E-02~1.9E-01, 1.5E-01~6.8E-01의 범위로 모든 연령 군의 전체 시나리오에서 위해지수 1을 초과하지 않았으므로, 비발암 위해성은 낮은 것으로 판단된다.

Abstract

The element arsenic, which is abundant in the Earth’s crust, is used for various industrial purposes including materials for disease treatment and household goods. Various human activities, such as the disposal of soil waste, metal mining and smelting, and combustion of fossil fuels, have caused the pollution ofthe environment with arsenic.Recently, guidelines for arsenic in rice have been adopted by the Korean ministry of food and drug safety to prevent health risks based on rice consumption. Because of the exposure to arsenic and its accumulation in the human body through various channels, such as air inhalation, skin contact, ingestion of drinking water, and food consumption, integrated multimedia risk assessment is required to adopt appropriate risk management policies. Therefore, integrated human health risk assessment was carried outin this study using integrated exposure assessment based on multimedia (e.g., air, water, and soil) and multi-route (e.g., oral, inhalation, and dermal) scenarios. The results show that oral uptake via drinking wateris the most common pathway of arsenic into the human body, accounting for 57%-96% of the total arsenic exposure. Among various age groups, the highest exposures to arsenic were observed in infants because the body weight of infants is low and the surface areas ofinfant bodies are large. Based on the results ofthe exposure assessment,the cancer and non-cancer risks were calculated. The cancer risk for CTE and RME is in the range of 2.3E-05 to 6.7E-05 and thus is negligible because it does not exceed the cancer probability of 1.0E-04 for all age groups. On the other hand, the cancer risk for RME varies from 6.4E-05 to 1.8E-04 and from 1.3E-04 to 1.8E-04 for infants and preschool children, exceeding the excess cancerrisk of 1.0E-04. The non-cancerrisks range from 5.4E-02 to 1.9E-01 and from 1.5E-01 to 6.8E-01, respectively. They do not exceed the hazard index 1 for all scenarios and all ages.
