본 연구는 해양배출폐기물의 해양환경공정시험기준 생태독성시험 관련 시료전처리방법 개선 및 폐기물 업종별 독성 판정기준 적합여부 파악을 목적으로 실시하였다. 해양성 발광박테리아 독성시험은 시료26점에 대하여 46%(12점)의 ‘독성 없음’ (상대발광저해율 30%이하 적용) 판정이 나왔으며, 저성성 단각류시험은 염수추출 전처리 시료7점 중 섬유오니 1점만 ‘독성 없 음’(상대평균생존율 30%이하 적용) 판정이 나왔다. 시험결과로 업종별 독성 크기를 살펴보면 발광박테리아시험 상대발광저해율 은 축산분뇨>식품제조>음식물폐수>섬유․염색>방지시설 순서로 독성이 나타나고, 저서성 단각류시험은 섬유오니 시료의 결과 가 독성이 낮게 나왔으나, 시험대상 시료수가 많지 않은 관계로 업종별 독성 크기 파악은 생략했다. 다만 동일 폐기물 시료7점에 대한 두 가지 독성시험 결과로 판단할 때 발광박테리아시험의 기준만족(독성 없음) 확률이 저서성 단각류시험에 비하여 높게 나 타날 것으로 판단된다.
There was an issue of marine pollution in 2016 when a power plant located on the shoreline directly discharged hazardous chemicals into the sea. The power plant was accused of breaking the laws of the Marine Environment Management Act by a citizen and environmental organization in Korea. Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MoF) claimed the power plant discharged dimethylpolysiloxane, which is regulated as a noxious liquid substance by MARPOL73/78. Dimethylpolysiloxane (PDMS) is normally used to reduce the formation of foam in the cooling system during the washing process, and the plant’s flow of discharge wastewater is connected to the sea, directly. The aim of this study was to research the possible effects on the industry when the laws are applied to all industrial facilities along the shoreline. The smallto medium-sized companies can be affected by financial duties tied to complying with the law. This study investigated how to treat and discharge waste containing hazardous chemicals from a facility, focusing especially on power plants and companies along the shoreline. Direct or indirect discharges of waste from these facilities may cause marine pollution and are major sources of ecocide. However, there is no standard to apply to noxious liquid substances and no one knows whether or not the power plant is in the scope of the marine facilities of that law. Therefore, the government must manage industrial waste efficiently, with proper policies and regulations. Furthermore, it needs to create reasonable standards related to discharging industrial waste.
