Abstract

Asbestos is a set of six naturally occurring silicate minerals exploited commercially for their desirablephysical properties. Asbestos can cause or contribute to an increased incidence of asbestosis, lung cancer andmesothelioma. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the asbestos exposure in soil using ModifiedAsbestos-Related Risk (MARR) and Excess Life Cancer Risk (ELCR). From the result of risk assessment basedon MARR and ELCR in the soils contaminated with tremolite, MARR had 1.74 times higher than ELCR. Onthe other hand, concerning asbestos risk, the results from the risk assessment in the soils contaminated withchrysotile showed that ELCR had 25 times higher than MARR result. Therefore it would be more reasonableto undertake the risk assessment of asbestos according to the type of asbestos.

석면은 석면상(asbestiform)으로 산출되는 규산염 광물이다. 풍화작용에 의해 비산된 석면 입자들이논과 밭 등을 오염시키게 되면서 석면 흡입에 대한 석면성 질병에 대한 위해성 문제가 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 석면 오염 토양에서의 석면 비산성 실험을 수행하고 ELCR (Excess Life Cancer Risk)와 MARR (ModifiedAsbestos-Related Risk)를 이용하여 백석면 오염 토양과 투각섬석 오염 토양에서의 위해성 평가를 각각 수행하였다. 그 결과 투각섬석으로 오염된 토양에서의 위해성 평가 비교 결과 MARR의 결과가 ELCR보다 약 1.7배 크게나왔고, 사문석으로 오염된 토양에서 MARR의 결과가 ELCR에 비해 작은 위해도(4%)를 가진 것으로 나타났다.그러므로 투각섬석으로 오염된 토양과 백석면으로 오염된 토양에서의 위해성 평가는 구분하여 진행되는 것이 더 합리적일 것으로 판단된다.
