재활용 제품의 사용이 증가함에 따라 이에 대한 위해성 평가가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는재활용 제품 중 재활용 고무분말을 이용한 놀이터용 바닥재와 해당 고무분말의 중금속 함량을 비교하였다. 또한 각각의 물질이 경피로 전이되는 양을 확인하여 피부에 흡수되는 중금속 노출 특성을 살펴보았다. 아연의 경우 함량이 높은데 반해 전이량이 0.1 mg/cm2으로 매우 낮았는데 이는 아연은 표면 접촉으로는 잘 묻어나지 않는다는 것을 나타낸다. 그러나 철과 알루미늄의 경우, 함량이 바닥재에서 12 배 높게 나타났고, 전이량이 아연보다 약 5 배 높게 나타났다. 이것은 철과 알루미늄이 바닥재에 사용된 안료에서 기인했다는 것을 말한다. 놀이터 6 개소를 대상으로 피부 흡수에 의한 중금속 노출량을 산정한 결과, Ba의 경우 타 중금속에 비하여 비교적 높게 산정되었다. Zn의 함량이 높음에도 불구하고 Ba의 노출량이 더 높은 것은 Ba의 피부흡수율이 Zn에 비해 약 5 배 높기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.
The increasing use of recycling products results in the need for assessing the risk to human health. In this study heavy metals's contents of playground flooring were compared with rubber powder which is row material. And it is reviewed characteristics of heavy metals's exposure from absorption of skin, checking amount of dermal uptake for each heavy metal. Despite its high content, Zn had a very low migration rate with 0.1mg/cm2. This indicates that Zn is not easily released by surface contact. However, the contents of Fe and Al in flooring were 12 times higher than that of Zn and Fe, and Al showed migration rate 5 times higher than that of Zn. This implies that Fe and Al were derived from pigment in flooring. The measurement of dermal exposure to heavy metals at 6 playgrounds found higher level of exposure in Ba than in other heavy metals. It is assumed that despite high content of Zn, Ba had a higher exposure rate because five times as much Ba as Zn was darmal absorptionactor (AFdarmal).
