Abstract

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) have been recognized as emerging environmental pollutants and are widely distributed all over the world. These compounds are hardly degradable and cause bioaccumulation and biomagnification during present for a long time in the environment: thereby after adversely biota and human bodies. It is difficult to remove PFCs using conventional water/wastewater treatment because of resistant property to photodecomposition, biodegradation and chemical decomposition. Moreover, domestic literature data on the pollution of PFCs in rivers and lakes are limited. In this paper, species, sources and risk of PFCs as well as behavior properties in drinking water/wastewater and treatment processes are demonstrated to encourage the domestic concern about PFCs.

전세계적으로 과불화 화합물들에 의한 오염은 심각한 수준에 도달해 있다. 이들은 난분해성으로 환경에 장기간 머물며 생물축적 (bioaccumulation) 및 생물확대 (biomagnification)의 원인 물질로 인간과 동물들에게 심각한 피해를 유발한다. 또한, 이들은 광분해, 생물분해 및 화학적인 분해에도 매우 큰 내성을 가지고 있기 때문에 상 하수 처리공정에서 과불화 화합물에 대한 제거율이 낮다. 국내의 경우는 아직까지 주요 하천과 호소에서의 이들의 오염현황에 대한 변변한 조사나 연구보고도 없는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 과불화 화합물들에 대한 국내에서의 관심을 고조시키기 위해 과불화 화합물의 종류 및 유래, 위해성, 상수와 하수에서의 거동 및 처리공정으로 나누어 과불화 화합물들에 대해 간략하게 기술하였다.
