Monitoring of Carbamate Pesticide Residues in Agricultural Products Supplied for the Army

This study was monitored for 14 pesticide residues in agricultural products for the army, such as fruit vegetables(pepper, cucumber, pumpkin, melon and water melon), leafy vegetables(Korean cabbage, spinach, lettuce, crown daisy, cabbage, green onion), mushrooms(agaric, p'yogo), and bean sprouts produced in Kyunggi-do and Inchon-City. From January to December 2005, ten carbamate pesticides in 356 samples were analyzed by HPLC. One kind of pesticide was detected in 8 samples of detection rate (2.53%), and two pesticides were in one sample of detection rate(0.27%). Aldicarb, bendiocarb, fenobucarb, methiocarb, isoprocarb, and propoxur were not found in all samples. Detection rates of pesticides were 0.84% for methomyl, 0.56% for carbofuran, 0.56% for ethiofencarb, and 0.28% for carbayl. Dectection ranges of pesticides were from 0.01 to 2.9 mg/kg for ethiofencarb, from 0.1 to 0.23 mg/kg for methomyl, from 0.20 to 0.24 mg/kg for carbofuran, and 0.01 mg/kg for carbaryl, respectively. Consequently, detection levels of all pesticides in samples were less than the maximum residue limits(MRLs) in Korea representing that all agricultural products for the army were safe.

군납 농산물 중 카바메이트계 농약의 모니터링

본 연구는 2005년 1월부터 12월까지 경기도와 인천지역에 납품된 14종 농산물 356점 중 카바메이트계 농약 10종 (aldicarb, bendiocarb, carbaryl, carbofuran, ethiofencarb, fenobucarb, methiocarb, mehtomyl, isoprocarb, propoxur)을 분석하였다. 대상 농산물 356점중 카바메이트계 농약이 12건 검출율(2.53%)이 검출되었으며, 그 중 2종류의 농약이 검출된 농산물은 1건으로 0.27% 이었다. 군납 농산물중 methomyl(0.84%)로 가장 많이 검출되었으며, carbofuran(0.56%), ethiofencarb(0.56%), carbaryl(0.28%) 순으로 나타났다. Aldicarb, bendiocarb, fenobucarb, methioarb, isoprocarb, propoxur 은 시료에서 검출되지 않았다. 검출된 농약은 상추에서 ethiofencarb(0.29 ppm), 고추에서 carbofuran(0.24 ppm), 시금치에서 methomyl(0.23 ppm), carbaryl(0.01 ppm), 배추에서 carbofuran(0.20 ppm), 오이에서 methomyl(0.12 ppm), 쑥갓에서 ethiofencarb(0.01 ppm), 파에서 methomyl(0.01 ppm) 이었으나 모두 MRL 미만으로 안전하였다.
