초록

최근 발암 가능성 물질로 알려진 N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA)가 미국 및 캐나다 상수도 공급시설에서 발견되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는, pH가 6, 7, 8인 조건에서 디메칠아민 농도를 0.05 mM로 고정시키고 클로라민 농도(0.001-0.1 mM) 변화에 따른 NDMA 생성 농도를 측정하였다. 디메칠아민 농도에서 NDMA 최대 생성율은 pH 7과 8에서 각각 2.4% 및 1.5%로 나타났으며, 주입 클로라민 농도가 증가할수록 생성율은 크게 증가하는 경향을 보인 것으로 조사되었다. 그리고, pH가 7, 8인 조건에서 NDMA 생성농도와 클로라민/디메칠아민 비율 사이에 높은 연관성을 얻었다($r^2>0.99$). NDMA 생성은 클로라민 농도와 선형 연관성이 있었다.

N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a potent carcinogenic, has recently been observed at drinking water supply systems in USA and Canada. The NDMA formation was studied as a function of chloramine concentration (0.001-0.1 mM) at a fixed dimethylamine (DMA) concentration of 0.05 mM at different initial pH (6, 7, 8). It was found that the NDMA formation rate varied with pH values. The formation of NDMA increased with increasing chloramine concentration and showed maximum yields of 2.4% and 1.6% at pH 7 and 8, respectively. A good correlation ($r^2>0.99$) was observed between the molar ratio (chloramine/DMA) and NDMA formation at pH 7 and 8. Linearity of the NDMA formation appeared to be related to chloramine concentrations.
