연구논문 : 전과정평가를 활용한 가축매몰지의 환경영향 분석

The foot mouth disease and Al were highly contagious. The virus can be transmitted in number of ways, including close contact animal to animal spread, long distance aerosol spread and fomites, or inanimate objects, typically fodder and motor vehicles. A lot of burial sites were constructed in a short time for preventing the rapid spread of the virus. The carcass burial sites have a risk potential because the sites were constructed without any appropriate and systematic management. It resulted from lacking of time, equipments and man power. The carcass burial sites more than 4,700 constructed in 2011. Approximately 7 million poultry and 3.5 million livestock including head of cattle and swine were buried in farm land. It is time to be concerned if the secondary pollutions occur from the burial sites. The environmental impacts should be analyzed for managing the burial sites effectively and minimizing damages and risks to the environment and human health. This study was to analyze environmental impacts of the process of carcass burial construction using a life cycle assessment methodology. All input data of raw materials and energy usage were collected and the inventory was constructed. The results showed that 1 ton of carcass burial of the environmental impacts were 0.51yr for ADP, 0.09 kg of 1, 4DCB-eq for FAETP, 31.17 kg of CO2-eq for GWP, 0.04 kg of C2H4-eq for POCP, 0.06 kg of SO2-eq for AP.
