Abstract
In order to monitor the levels of pesticides in environment-friendly stalk and stem vegetables and leafy vegetables selling at markets in Korea. A total of 637 (395 organic agricultural products, 242 pesticide-free agricultural products) samples of 21 stalk and stem vegetables and leafy vegetables were collected twice from markets in July and August 2010 in Korea. Pesticide residues in samples were analyzed by multiresidue method for 240 pesticides using GC-ECD/NPD and HPLC-DAD/FLD. The suspected-pesticides were confirmed with a GC-MSD. As a result of analysis, six pesticides were detected from eight samples, representing a detection rate of 1.3% and amounts of pesticide residues in samples were as follows: alachlor 0.043, chlorfenapyr 0.022-0.324, diazinon 0.024, dicofol 0.009-0.138, dithiopyr 0.008, metolachlor 0.025 mg/kg. Their residue levels were below the MRLs. Estimated daily intakes (EDIs) of the pesticides detected from stalk and stem vegetables and leafy vegetables were less than 25% of their acceptable daily intakes (ADIs), representing that residue levels of the pesticides detected were evaluated as safe for consumption. However, five samples containing pesticide residues were unsuitable environment-friendly products because of pesticides detected more than their 10% MRLs in organic and pesticide-free agricultural products.
국내 유통 친환경인증 엽채류와 엽경채류 중 잔류농약 실태를 파악하기 위해 서울 등 전국 9개 지역의 대형마트와 친환경인증 농산물 판매소에서 상추 등 21종의 친환경인증 엽채류 및 엽경채류를 2010년 7월과 8월 2회 채취 하였으며, 총 시료수는 637(유기농산물 395, 무농약농산물 242)점이었다. 수집된 시료는 GC-ECD/NPD, HPLC-DAD/FLD를 이용한 다성분 동시분석법으로 잔류농약을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 양배추 등 8점의 시료에서 alachlor를 포함한 6종의 농약이 검출되어 1.3%의 검출율을 보였으며, 검출농약의 잔류량은 alachlor 0.043, chlorfenapyr 0.022-0.324, diazinon 0.024, dicofol 0.05-0.138, dithiopyr 0.008, metolachlor 0.025 mg/kg이었다. 시료에서 검출된 농약의 잔류량은 모두 잔류허용기준을 초과하지 않았고 일일섭취추정량 대비 일일섭취허용량은 25% 미만으로 안전한 것으로 판단되었으나 농약이 검출된 시료 중 5점은 친환경농산물 인증기준을 초과하여 부적합 농산물로 분류되었다.
