Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of conversion and residue for two EBDCs fungicides (mancozeb and metiram) and their metabolite, ethylenethiourea (ETU) under laboratory conditions. The sampling on the pesticides was done at 0, 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 19, 22 and 26 days. The amounts of their residues and ETU were analyzed with an HPLC-DAD. The average recoveries were $86.9{\pm}4.3\;and\;90.2{\pm}8.0%$ for mancozeb, $85.2{\pm}2.4\;and\;98.6{\pm}1.6%$ for metiram, and $64.1{\pm}3.4\;and\;80.0{\pm}4.6%$ for ETU. The half-lives of mancozeb and metiram were 7.5 and 27.8 day, respectively. The conversion rates of mancozeb and metiram to ETU ranged from 4.7 to 67.2% and from 7.5 to 34.6%, respectively. These results may be different under the real environmental conditions. Therefore, following many studies are recommended to make the criteria for applying the use and safety for mancozeb and metiram.
EBDC계 살균제 중 국내에서 사용하고 있는 mancozeb와 metiram을 사용하여 실험실 조건에서 이들의 반감기 및 분해대사 산물인 ETU로의 전환특성을 조사하였다. EBDC계 살균제 및 분해대사 산물인 ETU에 대한 분석은 상온에 보관한 시료를 0, 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 19, 22, 26일 경과 후에 HPLC~DAD로 분석하였다. EBDC계 살균제인 mancozeb, metiram과 그 분해산물인 ETU에 대한 정량회수율은 각각 86.9-90.2, 85-98.6 및 64.1-80.0% 범위를 나타내었다. Mancozeb와 metiram의 반감기는 각각 7.5일，27.8일이었다. Mancozeb 의 ETU 전환율은 4.7-67.2% 수준이었고，metiram의 ETU 전환율은 7.5-34.6% 수준이었다.
