Abstract

Water monitoring equipments using daphnia can be used to monitor the pollution levels of a country's main rivers. Such equipments should be capable of providing a prompt warning about increase in the contamination levels, which is evaluated on the basis of impulse number or toxicity index. As unmanned remote control equipments, they must provide reliable pollution monitoring results for each season and for the annual physical changes in each river. Two different equipments based on the impulse number and toxicity index showed different results for the operating rates and for the number of emergency checks required even though both were operated at the same conditions. The results are affected by many parameters such as the presence of any air bubbles and the microscopic pressure. The purpose of this study is to develop a method that can reduce the effect of bubbles or microscopic pressure on the monitoring data. We expect to achieve reliable monitoring data for water pollutants irrespective of the location of the equipment setup.

우리나라 주요하천의 수질오염감시를 목적으로 물벼룩을 이용한 생물감시장치가 설치, 운용되고 있다. 기기 목적상 유해물질에 대해 신뢰성 있는 신속한 독성경보를 내릴 수 있어야 하고, 무인원격측정기기이므로 계절별, 연간 하천의 물리적인 변화에도 측정의 신뢰성이 확보되어야 한다. 국내에 운영중인 장비는 물벼룩의 단위시간당 뛰는 횟수(Impulse)를 측정하는 방법과 유영형태를 분석하여 독성지수(Toxicity)로 나타내는 방법이 있다. 두 장비가 동일한 조건에서 운전되었음에도 가동률과 긴급점검횟수가 다르게 나타났으며 원인은 용기 내 기포발생과 압력차이 등 여러 가지가 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 기포와 미시적인 압력의 영향을 감소시켜 측정의 불확실성을 줄이는 것이고, 나아가 생물감시장치가 어떤 환경에 설치되더라도 수질오염감시의 목적을 정상적으로 달성하는 데 기여하는 것이다.
