Abstract

In this study, the management polices of micropollutants (MPs) were reviewed and the future management strategy was discussed considering climate change and etc. In Korea, the investigation of drinking water has been actively carried out for the priority contaminants as well as MPs. Recently river and lake waters have been also examined for MPs. However, the coverage and depth of the investigation is limited. Moreover, climate change is likely to increase air & water temperature and it will affect the hydrological cycle. Such changes may increase the residual concentrations of MPs in water system. As water reuse increases, the residual MPs of the recycled water may create public concerns. Thus, in a viewpoint of the precautionary principle, more stringent management of MPs is recommended for the drinking water and the body-contact water use. For the surface water, more studies are necessary to understand the ecological risk by MPs.

본 논문에서는 국내 외 미량오염물질의 관리현황을 분석하고, 기후변화 등 수질관리에 영향을 주는 잠재적인 요소를 고려한 미량오염물질의 관리방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 국내에서는 먹는 물 안전성 확보를 위해 수돗물 정수 및 원수를 대상으로 미량오염물질에 대한 실태조사가 꾸준히 진행되었다. 근래에 들어 하천 호소수 중의 미량오염물질에 대해서도 조사가 진행되고 있으나 조사 항목과 횟수가 많지 않아 전체적인 미량오염물질 발생 및 검출 현황을 파악하기에는 어려움이 있었다. 선진국에서는 미량오염물질의 실태조사 외에도 환경 매체에서의 거동, 인체 및 생태위해성, 처리공정 등에 미량오염물질 관리 전반에 대한 연구가 수행되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 기후변화에 따른 기온과 수온의 상승, 수문학적인 순환의 변화 등으로 미량오염물질의 잔류 농도가 증가할 우려가 있다. 또한 물 재이용이 확대되는 과정에서 미량오염물질에 대한 우려가 커질 수 있다. 그러므로 먹는 물 또는 신체와 접촉하는 용도의 용수에 대해서는 사전예방의 관점에서 미량오염물질의 관리를 강화하는 것이 필요하다. 지표수 중의 미량오염물질에 대해서는, 물환경 정책목표 중의 하나인 생태 위해성 관리의 관점에서, 물질의 거동, 생태 위해성 평가, 하 폐수처리공정에서의 제어방안 등에 대한 연구가 확대되어야 할 것이다.
