나노물질의 환경 매질별 노출 사례 조사
Case Studies for Nanomaterials' Exposure to Environmental Media
E-mail:
초록
최근 나노기술의 급격한 발전은 산업 및 바이오의약 등 다양한 분야에 새로운 활용 가능성을 제시하고 있다. 나노물질을 이용한 나노소비재의 증가와 함께 환경으로의 나노물질 노출 가능성이 제기되고 있으며, 최근 나노물질의 인체 및 환경 영향이 주요 현안으로 떠오르고 있다. 환경 중에 비의도적으로 노출된 나노물질은 다양한 환경 매질에 축적되고 언젠가는 우리들에게 재영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서, 환경 매질(대기, 수계, 토양)에 노출된 나노물질의 영향을 이해하기 위해서는 나노물질의 환경 내 거동을 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 나노물질의 환경 매질별 노출 사례를 조사하고, 향후 연구 방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 작업장(실험실)에서는 주로 대기 노출이 지배적이지만, 환경중으로 노출될 경우 최종적으로 수계 및 토양으로 노출되는 것으로 파악되었다. 또한 기존의 하수처리장 설비로는 완벽하게 나노물질을 제거하기가 어렵다는 것을 확인하여, 나노폐기물 처리에 관한 새로운 방법론 개발이 절실함을 확인하였다. 보다 다양하고 깊이있는 환경 노출 연구를 위해서는 현장 모니터링 장비의 개발이 필요함을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이에 추가적으로 다양한 분석법을 제안하였다. 본 총설에서 정리한 나노물질의 환경 매질별 노출 사례 연구들은 향후 나노물질의 환경 거동 평가 및 나노폐기물의 적절한 처리방법 모색에 기본 자료로 활용될 것이다.
Recent rapidly growth in nanotechnolgies is promised novel benefits through the exploitation of their unique industrial and biomedical applications. With increasing utilization of nanomaterials in consumer products, the potential release of nanomaterials into the environment and their impacts on the ecosystem and human health have been the issues of concern. Nanomaterials that was exposed unintentionally in environment might be accumulated in various environmental media, and finally it will be influenced to human and ecosystems. Therefore, it is important to understand
the fate and behavior of nanoparticles for understanding effects on environmental media (air, water, and soil phase). Therefore, in this work, we investigated the several cases for environmental exposure of nanomaterials and suggested the direction of further research. In workplace, exposure to air media is dominant, but finally waste and wastewater was moved to the water and soil phase. In addition, we found the existing sewage treatment plant was not suitable to remove completely nanomaterials in wastewater flow. To deeper study, environmental monitoring tool must be developed additionally and we suggested the several analyzing method for aged and pristine physicochemical properties of nanomaterials exposed into environmental media. This review for nanomaterials' exposure to environmental media will be helpful to investigate the envrionmental fate of nanomaterials and define the suitable treatment method for nano-waste.
