Abstract
This study was carried out to survey the residual characteristics of endocrine disruptor (ED)-suspected pesticides in greenhouse soils and assess their leachabilites to groundwater. Greenhouse soils were collected from 40 sites of greenhouse in 2008 in Korea. Sixteen ED-suspected pesticides which had been using in Korea, such as alachlor, benomyl, carbaryl, cypermethrin, 2,4-D, dicofol, endosulfan, fenvalerate, malathion, mancozeb, metribuzin, metiram, methomyl, parathion, trifluralin, and vinclozolin, in the soils, were analyzed by chromatographic methods using GLC-ECD and HPLC-DAD/FLD. Limits of detection (LODs) of the test pesticides ranged from 0.0004 to 0.005 mg/kg. Recoveries of the target pesticides from soil ranged from 72.69 to 115.28%. Four pesticides including cypermethrin were detected in the range of from 0.001 to 2.019 mg/kg, representing that their detection rate from greenhouse soils was 37.5%. The highest detection rate was observed from endosulfan which was detected from 16 site soils of the total samples, indicating that endosulfan is persistent in soil because of its very low mobility and high adsorption characteristics in soil. Based on the groundwater ubiquity scores (GUSs) of the pesticides detected from greenhouse soils, most of them have little possibilities of groundwater contamination except the fungicide vinclozolin with some leaching potential because of high water solubility and very low soil adsorption property.
농경지 중 내분비계장애 추정농약의 잔류 실태를 조사하기 위하여 시설재배 토양을 경기도 가평 등 전국 40개 지역에서 총 40점을 채취하여 현재 우리나라에서 분류한 내분비계장애추정농약 40종 중 등록되어 사용중인 alachlor를 포함한 16종의 농약을 대상으로 GC-ECD 및 HPLC-DAD/FLD를 이용한 다성분동시분석법 및 개별분석법으로 분석하였다. 시험농약의 검출한계는 0.0004-0.005 mg/kg이었으며, 각 시험농약의 회수율 72.69-115.28%의 범위였다. 조사대상 토양 40점 중 16점의 시료에서 cypermethrin 등 4종의 내분비계장애추정농약이 검출되어 37.5%의 검출율을 보였다. 그 중 endosulfna은 12지역에서 검출되어 가장 높은 검출빈도를 보였다. 또한 GUS로 판단할 때 대부분의 검출 농약은 지하수를 오염시킬 가능성이 거의 없었으나 살균제 vinclozolin은 약간의 지하수를 오염시킬 가능성이 있는 것으로 추정되었는데 이는 수용성이 높고 토양 흡착성이 낮은 특성 때문인 것으로 보인다.
