Abstract
Two types of ground-water sampling techniques for CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) analysis, the cold-welded copper tube method and flame-sealed borosilicate glass ampule method, were compared and evaluated. CFCs concentrations by the copper tube method showed a poor reproducibility among triplicates whereas those by the glass ampule method showed a good agreement and relative standard deviations of triplicates were less than 5%. The poor reproducibility of the copper tube method appears to be attributed to the incomplete sealing in connection between faucets of wellhead and the sampling apparatus. The copper tube method also showed higher CFCs concentrations than the glass ampule method, which is more pronounced for CFC-11 than for CFC-12. The plastic tubings and rubber gasket of faucets in case of the copper tube method possibly contaminated the samples with CFC-11 and CFC-12. The potential of CFCs contamination for the glass ampule method was eliminated by using stainless steel and Nylon only and by connecting the sampling equipment directly to the main discharge pipe of wellhead. The validity of the glass ampule method were also verified by detecting very low level of CFCs for the ground-water sample which is old enough to have negligible CFCs.

Chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs) 조사를 위한 지하수 시료 채취 방법 중 cold-welded copper tube method(구리관법)과 flame-sealed borosilicate glass ampule method(유리앰퓰법)의 두 방법을 비교하고 검토하였다. 구리관법에 의해 채취된 시료의 CFCs 농도는 중복시료간에 재현성이 불량한 반면, 유리앰퓰법은 상대표준오차가 5% 이내로 좋은 재현성을 보여주었다. 이것은 구리관법을 적용할 때, 관정의 출수구와 구리관의 연결의 밀봉성이 좋지 않았기 때문인 것으로 추정된다. 또한 구리관법에 의한 CFCs 농도는 전체적으로 유리앰퓰에 의한 값보다 높았으며 이러한 특징은 CFC-11이 CFC-12보다 더 두드러졌다. 구리관법의 경우에 플라스틱 관이나 관정에 설치된 출수구에 포함된 고무 패킹 등이 시료를 CFCs로 오염시켰을 것으로 평가된다. 유리앰퓰법을 적용했을 때에는 이러한 가능성을 제거하기 위해 stainless steel과 nylon 재질만을 이용하고, 시료채취장비를 관정의 주배수관에 직접 연결하였다. 인위적인 공급원에 의한 CFCs가 없을 것으로 예상되는 시료에서 유리앰퓰법에 의해 매우 낮은 수준의 CFCs농도가 측정됨으로써 이 시료채취과정의 유효성이 검증되었다.
