Abstract

PAHs(Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) in coastal area and estuary adjacent to urban area and industrial activities region are mainly introduced into marine environment via atmosphere and river. This study which is evaluated the distribution characteristics of PAHs discharge from rivers and sewage disposal water which flowing into Ulsan bay, and were carried out in Jun of dry season and in Auguest of wet season, 2008. The water samples from eight main rivers and Youngyeon WWTP(Wastewater Treatment Plant) flowed into Ulsan bay were taken for analysis of dissolved PAHs. The range and mean values of dissolved PAHs concentrations showed 10.30 to 87.88 ng/L, its mean 36.94 ng/L in dry season and 10.30 to 69.57 ng/L, its mean 24.37 ng/L in wet season. The distribution of dissolved PAHs showd the high concentrations in the Gungcheoncheon which is flowed from urban and industrial area. The ranges and means values of the loading fluxes were estimated with 0.04 to 8.27 g/day, its mean 2.05 g/day in dry season, and 0.03 to 4.77 g/day, its mean 1.61 g/day, in wet season. The loading flux showed the highest value in Taewha river due to the high flow rate and the urban activity. The composition patterns of dissolved PAHs compound showed most of the trend occupying low molecuar weight PAHs than high molecular weight PAHs. These results were due to physical and chemical characteristics of PAHs compound, and were similar to those of other studies. The concentrations of dissolved PAHs in this study are lower than those of other studies, and the level of PAHs pollution appeared to be not serious in reverine waters of Ulsan coast.

PAHs(다환방향족탄화수소) 화합물은 연안역과 하구역에서 도시화와 산업활동 중 연소에 의하여 발생되어 주로 대기와 하천을 통하여 유입된다. 본 연구는 울산만으로 유입되는 하천과 하수처리장 배출수에서 PAHs 화합물의 분포특성을 평가하기 위해 2008년 갈수기인 6월과 풍수기인 8월에 수행되었다. 분석하기 위한 수시료는 울산만으로 유입되는 주요 8개 하천과 용연 하수처리장에서 채취하였다. 용존 PAHs 화합물의 농도범위와 평균값은 갈수기에 10.30~87.88(평균 39.39) ng/L, 풍수기에 10.30~69.57(평균 24.37) ng/L를 나타내었다. 용존 PAHs 화합물의 농도분포는 도심과 산업지역을 흐르는 궁천천에서 높은 값을 나타내었다. 용존 PAHs 화합물의 유입부하량 범위와 평균은 갈수기에 0.04~8.27(평균 2.05) g/day, 풍수기에는 0.03~4.77(평균 1.61) g/day로 산정되었다. 유입부하량은 많은 유량과 도시 활동의 영향을 크게 받는 태화강에서 가장 많은 양을 나타내었다. PAHs 화합물의 조성 형태는 고분자량 PAHs 화합물보다는 저분자량 PAHs 화합물이 대부분을 차지하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 PAHs 화합물의 물리화학적 성질에 의한 것으로 다른 연구와 유사하게 나타났다. 본 연구에서 용존 PAHs 화합물의 농도는 다른 연구들의 결과보다 낮은 농도로 나타나 울산연안의 하천에서 PAHs 화합물의 오염정도가 심각하지 않은 것으로 나타났다.
