널리 사용되고 있는 제초제인 파라콰트가 수중이나 토양을 통해 인체에 노출될 가능성이 있음을 알아보기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 수중에서 자외선에 의한 파라콰트의 분해 여부를 측정하였고, 토양에 파라콰트 살포 후 인공강우조건을 만들어 파라콰트의 침출 여부를 파악하였다. 또한, 용존산소량에 따라 등급이 다른 세가지 하천수에서 파라콰트의 자외선에 의한 분해양상을 조사하였다. HPLC/UVD를 이용한 토양과 수중에서 파라콰트의 용출 및 분해양상을 살펴본 결과 수중에서 자외선에 의한 파라콰트의 분해는 일어나지 않았고, 토양에서 파라콰트 살포 후, 파라콰트 용출 여부를 한 달간 살펴보았는데 용출은 되지 않았다. 그리고 하천수의 수질에 따른 파라콰트의 자외선에 의한 영향 또한 변화가 없었다. 분석방법에 대한 검출한계는 1.57 ${\mu}g$/L로 검출한계가 낮았다. 그리고 분석의 정밀도 및 정확도를 본 결과 3개의 다른 농도에서 6 % 이내의 정밀도와 약 88 % 이상의 정확도를 갖고 있어서 분석방법이 우수하였다. 토양에 살포된 파라콰트가 강수 등에 의해서 다시 용출될 가능성은 매우 낮다. 그러나 어떠한 경로이던 수계로 들어간 파라콰트는 오랫동안 잔류되어 인체에 노출될 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 실험실에서 진행된 것으로 실제 환경매체를 이용한 실증적인 연구와 이를 통한 역학적 연구가 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

서울 지역에서 2007년부터 2009년까지 유통 중인 채소류에 대해 농약 잔류수준을 분석하여 검출빈도가 높은 농약을 대상으로 2008년도 국민건강영양조사 자료에서 서울시민의 채소섭취량을 산출하여 채소류 섭취에 따른 농약성분의 노출수준을 평가하였다. 1) 채소류 중 잔류농약 검출비율은 2007년 11.2%, 2008년 8.6%, 2009년 12.0%로 나타났으며, 잔류허용기준초과비율은 2007년 4.6%, 2008년 2.8%, 2009년 2.1%로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 2) 서울시민과 서울시민을 제외한 한국인의 채소류 섭취량은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았으며, 일일 평균 섭취량이 각각 288.12 ${\pm}$ 214.8 g, 287.28 ${\pm}$ 231.6 g으로 비슷한 것으로 나타났다. 3) 농약이 검출된 37종의 채소류에 대해 서울시민의 채소류 섭취량을 산정한 결과, 일일 총 채소섭취량은 182.81 g이었고, 남자 191.84 g, 여자 175.99 g으로 남자의 섭취량이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 성인의 경우 일일 총 채소류 섭취량은 252.36 g이었으며 성인남자는 306.43 g, 성인여자는 219.78 g으로 성인남자가 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 4) 농약이 검출된 채소류 섭취에 따른 다종농약 성분에 대한 성인의 위해지수는 모두 1보다 작아 채소류 섭취에 기인한 다종 농약노출의 위해는 매우 낮은 수준이며, 위해지수는 2007년에 2.76E-02로 가장 높게 나타났고 2009년에는 1.69E-02로 감소하였다. 이는 채소류 중 잔류농약 허용기준초과율의 감소추세와 일치하였다. 본 연구는 채소류에만 국한된 연구이지만 잔류농약으로 인한 안전성을 확보하기 위해서는 지속적인 모니터링과 함께 신뢰성 있는 식이 섭취량 조사와 이에 따른 위해성 평가를 효과적으로 실시하여 과학적 근거를 축적하는 것이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 농작업자의 호흡노출 측정에 사용되어오던 고체흡착제 외에 최근에 사용되는 유리섬유여과지가 장착된 IOM 채집기에 대해서, 고체 제제인 kresoxim-methyl 입상수화제와 액상 제제인 fenthion 유제를 이용하여 포집효율과 파과율을 측정하여 효율성을 검증하고자 하였다. LC-MS/MS 기기상 최소검출량은 12.5 pg, 분석법상 검출한계는 5.0 ng/mL이었고, 각 노출 시료의 matrix matched standard의 직선성은 $R^2$ 값이 0.999 이상이었다. 사용된 유리섬유여과지와 고체흡착제에서의 두 가지 농약의 회수율은 유리섬유여과지는 kresoxim-methyl 102-109%, fenthion 97-104%, XAD-2 resin 고체흡착제는 각각 94-98%, 93-100%이었다. 포집효율은 IOM 채집기(유리섬유여과지 장착)와 고체흡착제(XAD-2 resin)를 연결한 후 개인용 공기펌프에 연결하여 측정하였다. 고체 및 액상 2가지 제제를 표준배율로 희석하여 IOM 채집기에 분무하여 포집효율을 본 결과 두 제제 모두 유리섬유여과지에 포집되었고 고체흡착제로 통과되지 않았다. 파과시험은 IOM 채집기의 유리섬유여과지에 농약 표준 용액을 가하고 고체흡착제를 연결한 후 개인용 공기펌프에 연결하여 측정하였다. 파과시험 결과, kresoxim-methyl은 87-101%, fenthion은 96-105%가 첫번째 유리섬유여과지에 흡착/보유되어 있었고 두 번째 유리섬유여과지나 고체흡착제로 파과되지 않았다. 따라서 유리섬유여과지가 장착된 IOM 채집기는 고체 제제나 액상 제제나 상관없이 포집효율과 흡착/보유 능력이 뛰어난 것으로 검증되어 농약 호흡노출 연구에 적극 활용될 것으로 판단한다.

Objective: This paper examines the possible toxicity to immune system in farmers chronically exposed to pesticides. Methods : We compared 43 male farmers exposed to pesticides with 29 male residents who had neither past nor current pesticides exposure. The selected variables for studying immunotoxicity were WBC, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19, CD56, IgG, IgA, IgM, and IL-2. As part of the baseline questionnaires for the immunotoxicity, subjects were asked about kinds of farming, posticides exposure and medical history. Results : None of the variables for studying immunotoxicity showed statistically significant difference between the two groups. Although the results were not statistically significant, CD4 and the CD4/CD8 ratio decreased and CD8 increased. These effects showed a dose response change with exposure level. In the exposed group, the values of CD3, CD4, CD4/CD8 and CD19 decreased and those of the CD8 and CD56 increased compared to the non-exposed group. Also there was higher prevalence of self-reported disease in the exposed group compared to the non-exposed group. Conclusions: Although statistically significant differences in indices of immunotoxicity in farmers exposed to pesticides were not shown, the results suggest that pesticides may decrease immune function. More advanced test methods for immunotoxicity need to be developed and tested in larger population to detect immunotoxic effects of pesticides.

This study estimated the effect of exposure to propiconazole through implementation and residues in finishing pigs. We analyzed the expression of fibrosis-related genes and performed histological analysis of the blood, liver, kidney, muscle, ileum, and fat tissues. The animals were exposed for 28 d to different concentrations of propiconazole (0.09, 0.44, 0.88, 4.41, and 8.82 mg/kg bw/d). Quantitative, gene expression, and histological analyses in tissues were performed using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, real-time PCR, and Masson's trichrome staining, respectively. Final body weight did not differ among groups. However, genes involved in fibrosis were significantly differentially regulated in response to propiconazole concentrations. Glucose, alanine aminotransferase, and total bilirubin levels were significantly increased compared with those in the control group, while alkaline phosphatase level was decreased (p<0.05) after exposure to propiconazole. The residue limits of propiconazole were increased in the finishing phase at 4.41 and 8.82 mg/kg bw/d. The liver, kidney, and ileum showed blue staining after propiconazole treatment, confirmed by Masson's trichrome staining. In conclusion, these findings suggest that propiconazole exposure disturbs the expression of fibrosis-related genes. This study on dietary propiconazole in pigs can provide a basis for determining maximum residue limits and a better understanding of metabolism in pigs and meat products.

BACKGROUND: The residue dissipation pattern of pesticides for agricultural products during the pre-harvest period after the final application is important to prevent the maximum residue limit (MRL) violations in domestic and export markets. The MRL violations of carbendazim are observed more often in chamnamul by pesticide residue management surveys by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. The residue level at the pre-harvest interval (PHI) and the residue dissipation constant from the critical good agricultural practice (cGAP) trials could be estimated to meet the MRL and pose a health risk to consumers. METHODS AND RESULTS: Chamnamuls were harvested at 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 14 days after application of carbendazim in accordance with critical GAP. The residue analysis in chamnanul was performed by HPLC-DAD with the C₁₈ column. The limit of quantitation of carbendazim was 0.04 mg/kg, and the recoveries were 74.4 - 95.8% at the two spiked levels (LOQ and 10LOQ) of carbendazim. The dissipation rates in chamnamul were calculated from the residues at the sampling days by statistical method at a 95% confidence level. The biological half-lives of residual carbendazim in the field trials 1 and 2 were 4.9 and 4.4 days, respectively. CONCLUSION(S): In this dissipation study, the residue concentrations at the recommended PHI were higher than the established MRL in Korea. Therefore, the MRL is proposed based on the residue data sets from the trials conducted at the same cGAP and the dietary exposure assessment.

Investigation of the environmental impact of widespread pesticide use has revealed a virtue/vice relationship. Although many pesticides perform their function and disappear without harm to the environment, others persist beyond their useful purpose and cause direct of indirect hazard to man, domestic animals and wildlife. Concurrently, many pests have rapidly adjusted to chemical control practices through changes in behavior that avoid exposure to pesticides of throuth genetic selection for populations resistant to the toxicants. The prospect of losing control over insect herbivores and desease vectors and returning to the days of global hunger and disease is unthinkable. Fortunately, from basic studies of insect and plant biology many opportunities for the development of safe, selective and environmentally pacific strategies for insect pest management are being realized.

A Direct injection -mixing total -flow -control sprayer was developed and evaluated . The system provided precise application rates and minimized operator exposure to chemicals as well as providing a possibility for recycling container so f unused chemicals that can causes environmental contamination. Chemicals were metered and injected proportionally to the diluent flow rate to provide constant concentrations. The main diluent flow was varied in response to changes in travel speed. Experimental variables of the sprayer were the control interval, the sensitivity of flow regulating valve, the tolerance of control object and the sensitivity of the injection pump system. The optimal performance of the flow control system was with an average response time of 8.5 sec at an absolute steady state of error of 0.067 L/min (0.8% of flow rate). The average response time of the injection rate was -0.53 sec and the coefficient of variation (CV) of concentration was 3.2%.

The present study was performed to investigate photodegradation rate constants and degradation products of phosphamidon and profenofos by the USEPA method. The two pesticides were very stable in 16 days exposure of sunlight from September 3 to 22, 1999 and humic acid had no sensitizing effect on the photolysis of each pesticide in sunlight. In the UV irradiation test, phosphamidon was rapidly degraded as increasing UV intensity. In case of UV irradiation with TiO2 and with TiO2 powder amount, degradation of profenofos showed no significant difference with UV irradiation. Photodegradation rate of profenofos was slower than that of phosphamidon. In order to identify photolysis products, the extracts of degradation products were analyzed by GC/MS. The mass spectra of photolysis products of phosphamidon were at m/z 153 and 149, those of the profenofos were at m/z 208 and 240, respectively. It was suggested that the photolysis products of phosphamidon were 0, 0-dimethyl phosphate(DMP) and N, N-diethylchloroacetamide, those of profenofos were 4-bromo-2-chlorophenol and 0-ethyl-S-propyl phosphate.
