본 연구에서는 낙동강에서의 nitrosamine류의 검출 현황에 대해 조사하였다. 본 연구결과에 따르면 6종의 nitrosamine류 (NDEA (N-nitrosodiethylamine), NDPA (N-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine), NDMA (N-nitrosodimethylamine), NMEA (N-nitrosomethylethylamine), NDBA (N-nitrosodi-n-butylamine) 및 NDPHA (N-Nitrosodiphenylamine))가 낙동강에서 검출되었다. 검출된 nitrosamine류 6종 중에서 NDEA와 NDPA가 주요 오염물질로 나타났으며, 몇몇 지점들에서의 NDEA의 검출농도는 미국 CDHCS (California Department of Health Care Services)의 대응수준인 100 ng/L를 초과하였으며, NDPA의 경우는 소수의 지점들에서 CDHCS의 대응수준(500 ng/L)에 근접한 농도로 검출되었다. 낙동강에서 검출된 nitrosamine류 9종의 최대 검출농도는 735.7 ng/L로 나타났다.
The survey of nitrosamine occurrence at Nakdong river is conducted in this study. According to the study results, six nitrosamine compounds (NDEA as N-nitrosodiethylamine, NDPA as N-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine, NDMA as N-nitrosodimethylamine, NMEA as N-nitrosomethylethylamine, NDBA as N-nitrosodi-n-butylamine, and NDPHA as N-Nitrosodiphenylamine) were detected at the Nakdong river. Among these, NDEA and NDPA are the most important compounds in terms of the nitrosamine contamination of Nakdong river. The detected concentration of NDEA exceeded the CDHCS (California Department of Health Care Services) response level of 100 ng/L at several sites. The detected concentration of NDPA approached the response level (500 ng/L) at few sites. When all nitrosamine concentrations were summed up, the maximum concentration of 735.7 ng/L was detected at the Nakdong river.
