The CRSKorea system takes a basic concept of risk assessment (both human health risk and ecological risk) in that risk score is determined by the product of toxicity score and exposure score. Included in the toxicity category are acute toxicity, chronic/subchronic toxicity, carcinogenicity, and other toxicity. The exposure category consists of quantity released to the environment, bioconcentration, and persistence. A consistent scheme and a comprehensive chemical data base are offered in the CRSKorea system to calculate a score for the each component in the two categories by using specific physicochemical, fate, and toxic properties and the quantity of the chemical used. The toxicity score is obtained by adding up all the individual scores for the components in the toxicity category. The exposure score is determined by multiplication of the score of the quantity released with the sum of persistent score and bioconcentration score. Equal weight is given to the toxicity score and the exposure score. As the CRSKorea system was applied to identify 50 national priority chemicals, it was found that significant data gap exists on toxicity and fate properties and that To whom correspondence should be addressed.

110 J. ENVIRON. TOXICOL. Vol. 20, No. 2 the uncertainty associated with estimating the quantity released to the environment is notably high. The proposed CRS system is only a screening tool in the first step toward the priority setting and should be used with expert judgement and other considerations necessary. Key words : chemical ranking and scoring system, toxic chemicals, priority, risk 서 론 화학물질의위해성은기본적으로그물질의독성이나위험성 (toxicity or hazard) 과그물질에대한노출 (exposure) 에의해크게좌우된다. 따라서화학물질에의한위해도를최소화하기위한방안은독성과노출을고려한위해성평가 (risk assessment) 를기초로해야한다 ( 국립환경연구원, 1996). 그러나현재사용중에있거나가까운장래에사용될모든화학물질에대해위해성을평가하여상세한정보를생산하는것은큰비용과시간을필요로하기때문에, 현실적으로이루기어려우며한정된자원을고려하여우선순위가높은물질을먼저관리하는것이효과적이다. 이에위해도가보다큰물질을선별하고그에대해관리를위한노력을집중할수있도록하는방안의개발이지속적으로강조되어왔다 (Gary et al., 1994). 여러개발국가에서는위해도에따른화학물질의우선순위를확립하기위해첫단계에서우선순위가높은물질들을크게걸러내고려대상이되어야할물질의수를일차적으로줄인다음이들을대상으로필요한세부적인평가에필요한여러작업을진행시키는단계적접근방식이사용된다 (primary references). 이때그첫단계에서흔히활용되는도구가 CRS (Chemical Ranking and Scoring) 시스템으로서구체적목적에따라다양한 CRS 시스템들이개발되어사용되었다 (US EPA, 1994a). European Union Risk Ranking Method (EURAM) (Hansen et al., 1999), Chemical Hazard Evaluation for Management Strategies (CHEMS1) (US EPA, 1994b), Chemical Scoring and Ranking Assessment Model (SCRAM) (Erin et al., 2000; Rachel et al., 2002), Accelerated Reduction/Elimination of Toxics (ARET) (Environment Canada, 1994, 2003) 등이그중요한사례이다. 그러나국내의경우는이러한개념이도입되어 실행되는초기단계에있다고할수있는데화학물질의위해성관리측면에서이들선정기법에대한제도적인정착이필요하다. 따라서본연구에서는기존의국제적인우선순위기법들을토대로국내상황에적합한우선순위선정시스템을개발하고, 현재화학물질관리법상유독물로지정된물질들을대상으로이들시스템에적용하여, 우선순위물질을도출하고자하였다. 연구방법 화학물질우선순위선정을위한기법을구성할때에는그목적에대해명확히정의하는것이매우중요하다 (Mary et al., 1997a). 본연구에서는유독물로지정된화학물질중관리우선순위가높은물질을결정하는과정인세단계, 즉, 스크리닝 전문가평가 위해성평가, 중첫단계인스크리닝을위한 CRS 시스템을개발하고자하였다. 또한추후대상화학물질의범위가유독물이외의일반화학물질에대해서도확대적용될수있도록고려하였다. 이를위해우선기존의다양한 CRS 시스템에대해각각의개발목적, 기법의정교함, 적용변수들의특성, 기법의타당성등을중심으로비교 분석하여국내기법개발시적용가능성을검토하였다 (Environment Canada, 1994, 2003; US EPA, 1994a, b; Hansen et al., 1999; Rachel et al., 2002; 김예신등, 2003). 이를참고로화학물질의물리화학적성질, 인체및생태독성, 환경중거동특성및화학물질의국내사용과배출자료등주요평가인자들을선정하였다. 또한이들의특성에따라점수를부여하는방식을검토하였다. 또한개발된기법을편리하게사용할수있도록프로그램된 CRS 시스템을만들어서유해화학물질관리법상의유독물 (534 여종, 2002 년 11 월현재 ) ( 환경부, 2003) 에대한데이터베이스를구축하여

June 2005 Park et al. : 우선순위선정기법 111 포함시켰다. 결과및토의 1. 우선순위선정기법의틀 화학물질우선순위선정을위한전체체계는위해성평가의틀을유지하는것을원칙으로하였다. 따라서인체위해성과생태위해성모두기본적으로독성과노출의곱의관계를기본구조로한다. 또한인체위해성과생태위해성의비중을동일한것으로하여각각의점수를합쳐서최종점수를산정하고최종점수에근거하여순위를결정한다 (Fig. 1) (Hansen et al., 1999). 각항목의점수는다섯등급으로구간을나누고구간별점수를부여하는방식으로정하였으며또한의음성 (false negative) 영향을배제하기위하여각항목의구간최소값을 0 점으로하지않고 1 점으로설정하였다. 2. 인체위해성 인체위해성은노출과독성의곱으로평가하며 100 점을만점으로하고, 이때노출과독성의점수의비중을같게유지하기위하여노출과독성모두각각 10 점을만점으로하였다 (Fig. 1). 1) 인체독성본연구에서고려된인체독성항목은급성독성 (acute toxicity), 아 / 만성독성 (sub/chronic toxicity), 발암성 (carcinogenicity), 기타독성 (other toxicity) 등모두 4 가지범주로이들항목의점수합을인체독성점수로이용하였다. 각각의범주는 5 점을만점으로하며독성점수는각범주의점수를합한뒤 2 로나누어최대값을 10 점으로조정하였다. 급성독성에대해서는포유류에대한반수치사량 (lethal dose (LD 50) or lethal concentration (LC 50)) 수치를이용하였다. 이때랏트와마우스에대한자료를가장우선순위로두되 (US EPA, 1994b), 입력자료의범위를최대화하기위하여이용가능한다른포유류의자료역시조사하여이들중가장민감한수치를이용하였다. 아 / 만성독성에대해서는포유류에대한 No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) 이나 Lowest Observed Adverse Effect Level (LOAEL) 자료를사용하여평가하였다. 이에대한자료입력시에도급성독성에서와같은방법을적용하였다. 발암성에대한점수는미국환경보호청 (US Environmental Protection Agency, 이하 US EPA), 국제암연구회 (International Agency for Research on Cancer, 이하 IARC) 등의발암성분류결과를이용하였다. 이때제공자료의신뢰성및물질포함정도등을고려하여 EPA 와 IARC 의자료를주로사용하고 (Mary et al., 1997b), 자료의결손을방지하기위하여 ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists), NTP (National Toxicology Program), EC (European Commission) 에서의발암분류등급역시고려하였다 ( 박화성등, 2004).

120 J. ENVIRON. TOXICOL. Vol. 20, No. 2 가높은물질은대부분수생생태에대한독성점수또한높았기때문이다. 또한아 / 만성독성에대한자료가없어서기본입력값을모두최대로부여하는경우에많은물질이최대점수를부여받게되기때문에매질에대한분포농도는유의적인차이를나타내지못하였다. 결과적으로환경으로배출되어어떤매질에얼마나분포하는가보다는기본입력값에따라결과가크게변하므로, 순위의불확실성이크고이에대한별도의검토가요구되었다. 또한매질에대한분포비율은 Mackay Level I 모델을적용하고이를적용하지못하는경우두가지분배가정시나리오중타당성이높은것으로평가되는물로의분포비율 10% 인시나리오를기본으로지정하였다. 따라서이스크리닝단계에서는우선기본입력값에상관없이우선순위가항상높은물질을위주로다시정리하였다 (Table 8). 이결과에따르면중금속, 강산, 강염기, 강산화제등이포함되어있으며, 일부물질은단순히사용량이많아서포함된것도있다. 따라서스크리닝단계라할지라도일부적절하지않은물질들은목록에서제외하는것이타당하다. 즉, 이러한간단한검토를통해적절하지않은물질들은제거하고다음단계에서상세히검토할목록을작성하는것이바람직하다는것을알수있다. 또한우선순위선정 ( 스크리닝 전문가평가 위해성평가 ) 을위한 3 단계가유기적으로운영될필요가있음을알수있다. 을사용해야했으며이때사용된기본입력값에따라우선순위의결과가크게달라지는물질들이일부있는것으로밝혀졌다. 따라서우선순위선정기법을이용하여신뢰도가높은결과를얻기위해서는무엇보다도부족한자료의보충과신뢰도가높은자료의확보가절실하다. 또한본연구의우선순위선정기법을통해얻어진물질들간의개별적우선순위결과를기계적으로사용하는것은적절하지않으며순위의신뢰도를검토하는작업이반드시뒤따라야할필요가있다는것을알수있다. 그러나전체유독물의넓은점수분포를감안한다면우선순위가높은물질군과그렇지않은군으로나누는것은이러한불확실성에의해큰영향을받지않는다. 따라서본기법은위해성평가의개념을활용하여체계적으로우선순위가높은물질군을선정하는효율적인방법이될수있을것이다. 따라서본기법은다른선정목적으로사용될경우, 기법의구조나지표가다소변경될수도있지만, 화학물질을선정하는일반적인모델로확장되어활용될수있을것으로기대된다. 감사의글 본연구는 2003 년환경부의 위해우려물질선정및평가연구 의일환으로수행되었으며이에감사드립니다. 결 론 참고문헌 본연구에서개발되는선정기법은전체적인화학물질우선순위결정과정인 스크리닝 전문가평가 위해성평가 의세단계중첫단계에서사용되는것을전제로한다. 즉, 최종적인우선순위는전문가평가와위해성평가를통해서확정되는것으로본연구에서개발되는기법은이와같은전체과정의효율성을극대화하기위해검토의대상이되어야할대상물질의수를줄이는기능을수행할수있다. 이기법을적용하여우선순위가높은상위 50 여개의유독물을선정하였다. 이들을고르는과정에서대상물질들의독성혹은물성자료, 사용량및배출량자료등의부족으로많은기본입력값 국립환경연구원. 화학물질관리체계개선을위한기반연구, 1996. 김예신, 박화성, 이동수, 신동천. 화학물질우선순위선정기법에대한비교분석, 한국환경독성학회지 2003; 18 (3): 183191. 박화성, 김예신, 이동수, 신동천. 대기중유해화학물질의인체위해도우선순위선정연구, 한국환경독성학회지 2004; 19 (1): 8191. 연세대학교환경공해연구소. 위해우려물질선정및평가연구, 환경부 2003. 환경부. 유해화학물질관리법, 2004. 환경부. 화학물질정보센터 (KCIC, Korean Chemicals Information Center). http://kcic. nier.go.kr/, 2003. 환경부. 유독물사용실적보고 (1999~2001), 2002.
