It is well known that many pesticides possess hormonal activity, and affect the developments of wildlife and mammals including human. Currently, pyrethroid insecticides are in worldwide use to control in and outdoor pests, providing potential far environmental exposure. Hormonal activities of these pyrethroid insecticides, however, have been little studied, and the developmental effects of them were no reported. Therefore, we firstly examined the potential estrogenic activities of some pyrethroid insecticides (permethrin, cypermethrin, tetramethrin, deltamethrin, sumithrin, fenvalerate and bioallethrin) by immature rat uterotrophic assay, luciferase reporter gene assay and Calbindin-D$\sub$9k/ (CaBP-9k) gene expression assay. Uterine wet weights were increased by permethrin and the permethrin-induced weights were inhibited by ICI 182780 in the uterolrophic assay. On the other hand tetramethrin significantly reduced uterine and vaginal wet weights, and also inhibited the E2-induced weight increases at all doses tested. Cypermethrin and sumithrin had a tendency to increase uterine weights, although not statistically significant. Permethrin and cypermethrin dose-dependently increased the luciferase activity in reporter gene assay. Northern blot analysis showed that permethrin induced CaBP-9k mRNA expression whereas tetramethrin inhibted. Subsequent studies were conducted to investigate the possible developmental effects of four pyrethroid insecricides (permethrin, cypermethrin, sumithrin and teramethrin). Either diethlbestrol (DES) or 17${\beta}$ -estradiol (E2) was used as a reference control in this study. Pyrethroid insecticides were administered to Sprague Dawley rats via subcutaneous injection at 6 to 18 days of gestation or 1 to 5 days after birth. In utero treatment of permethrin (10mg/kg/day) in female rat resulted in significant increases in uterine and ovarian weights while significant decreases in serum E2 concentration, uterine and ovarian ER${\alpha}$ mRNA levels. Sumithrin and permethrin led to acceleration in vaginal opening of female rat, while delay in preputial separation of male after neonatal treatment. Anogenital distances of PND 18 were significantly reduced in sumthrin-treated, and permerhrin-treated male rats after neonatal treatment. All the pyrethroid insecticides tested caused significant increases in uterine weights on PND 18, while significant reductions in the first diestrus phase when neonataly treated. In addition, exposure to pyrethroids in neonatal period led to significant reduction in relative brain weight in female rat on PND 18, but its weight was recovered in diestrus phase. In summary, Our experimental data demonstrate the possibilities of developmental effects of pyrethroid insecticides via estrogenic or antiestrogenic activity.

Synthetic pyrethroids (SPs) are the most common pesticides which are recently used for indoor pest control. The widespread use of SPs has resulted in the increased exposure to wild animals and humans. Recently, some SPs are suspected as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and have been assessed for their potential estrogenicity by adopting various analyzing assays. In this study, we examined the estrogenic effects of lambda-cyhalothrin (LC) and cypermethrin (CP), the most commonly used pesticides in Korea, using BG-1 ovarian cancer cells expressing estrogen receptors (ERs). To evaluate the estrogenic activities of two SPs, LC and CP, we employed MTT assay and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in LC or CP treated BG-1 ovarian cancer cells. In MTT assay, LC ($10^{-6}M$) and CP ($10^{-5}M$) significantly induced the growth of BG-1 cancer cells. LC or CP-induced cell growth was antagonized by addition of ICI 182,720 ($10^{-8}M$), an ER antagonist, suggesting that this effect appears to be mediated by an ER-dependent manner. Moreover, RT-PCR results showed that transcriptional level of cyclin D1, a cell cycle-regulating gene, was significantly up-regulated by LC and CP, while these effects were reversed by co-treatment of ICI 182,780. However, p21, a cyclin D-ckd-4 inhibitor gene, was not altered by LC or CP. Moreover, $ER{\alpha}$ expression was not significantly changed by LC and CP, while down-regulated by E2. Finally, in xenografted mouse model transplanted with human BG-1 ovarian cancer cells, E2 significantly increased the tumor volume compare to a negative control, but LC did not. Taken together, these results suggest that LC and CP may possess estrogenic potentials by stimulating the growth of BG-1 ovarian cancer cells via partially ER signaling pathway associated with cell cycle as did E2, but this estrogenic effect was not found in in vivo mouse model.

The simultaneous analytical method for 37 residual pesticides was developed by a gas chromatography with $^{63}$ Ni electron capture detector. Pesticides added in soybean sample were extracted with 70% acetone in water and methylene chloride in oder, and then cleaned up via open-column apparatus packed with florisil and alumina N. The Ultra-2 fused capillary column was used to separate the products. The resolution between the last isomeric peak of cypermethrin (56.398 min) and the first isomeric peak of flucythrinate (56.421 min) was not satisfactory and the last isomeric peak of fenvalerate(58.783 min) and the first isomeric peak of fluvalinate(58.835 min) was overlapped. Except for $\alpha$-BHC, dichlofluanid, captan, and captafol, most recoveries were showed over 70%.

채소류 중 비교적 matrix효과가 적고, 수분 함량이 적절하여 회수율이 양호한 오이를 대상으로 하여 총 16종의 농약성분을 A, B 두 group으로 나누어, 농약의 동시 다성분 분석의 전처리 과정 중 정제에 사용하는 용출용매로서 5%$\sim$20%의 acetone/hexane과 5%$\sim$20%의 ethyl acetate/hexane을 사용하여 각각의 회수율을 분석하여 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. Acetone/hexane을 사용한 경우 5% acetone에서 총 16종의 농약 성분 중 ethalfluralin, trifluralin, chlorothalonil 등 11종의 농약은 높은 회수율을 보였으나, alachlor와 iprodione, endosulfan sulfate, bifenthrin, fenarimol은 매우 낮은 회수율을 나타내었고, 10% 이상의 acetone/hexane에서는 bifenthrin과 fenarimol을 제외한 14종의 농약에서 높은 회수율을 얻을 수 있었다. 그러나 bifenthrin은 20%의 acetone/hexane을 사용한 경우는 용출되지 않았고, fenarimol은 10% 이하의 acetone/hexane을 사용하였을 때는 낮은 회수율을 나타내었다. Ethyl acetate/hexane을 사용하여 총 16종의 농약 성분의 회수율 분석을 한 결과, 5% ethyl acetate에서 ethalfluralin, $\alpha$-endosulfan, $\beta$-endosulfan (A group), vinclozolin, tetradifon, cypermethrin fenvalerate (B group)에서만 70% 이상의 회수율을 얻었다. 10%의 ethyl acetate/hexane을 사용하여 분석한 경우는 trifluralin, chlorothalonil, $\alpha$-endosulfan, $\beta$-endosulfan, endosulfan sulfate(A group), vinclozolin, procymidone, tetradifon cypermethrin, 그리고 fenvalerate(B group)에서는 70% 이상의 회수율을 얻었고, 20%의 ethyl acetate/hexane을 사용하여 분석한 경우는 5%나 10%의 ethyl acetate/hexane을 사용하여 분석했을 때보다 좋은 결과를 나타내어 전체 16종의 농약 중 14종에서 75% 이상의 회수율을 얻었으나, alachlor와 bifenthrin은 매우 낮은 회수율을 보여서 ethyl acetate와 hexane의 혼합용매가 이들 두 농약성분의 분석에는 적합하지 않은 용출 용매임을 알 수 있었다.

Six organophosphorus, one organochlorine, and three synthetic pyrethroid pesticides were analyzed for their residues during washing and hot-air drying of red peppers conducted in the production of powder. The residue ratio in organophosphorus pesticides was 33% in chlorpyrifos, 31 % in diazinon, 50% in methidathion, 80% in EPN, 28% in fenitrothion, and 60% in profenofos. The ratio in pyrethroids was 109% in cypermethrin, 102% in deltamethrin, and 106% in fenvalerate. That in organochlorine was 56% in ${\alpha}$-endosulfan and 90% in ${\beta}$-endosulfan. The results were greatly different between organophosphorus and pyrethroid pesticides. UV irradiation along with hot-air drying brought about a remarkable reduction of the residues, up to 70% as compared with hot-air drying only. The removal effect was most remarkable in pyrethroids, which are hardly removed by hot-air drying. The color of the pepper was not changed during UV irradiation. The use of oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide or chlorine dioxide during washing did not show a remarkable removal of residues. The residue ratio was not affected whether the pesticide is contaminated artificially or naturally.

The effects of feeding Brassica vegetable market wastes on intake, body weight changes and pesticide/insecticide residues in products of goats were evaluated in two experiments. In the first experiment (Exp. 1) 16 goats (Bach Thao, 9 to 10 kg, 3 months old, 9 males and 7 females) were fed four diets with leaves either from cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata), cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) or Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris subsp. pekinensis) with 30% of Para grass. The control group was fed 100% Para grass. All diets contained soybean waste as a supplement and the experiment lasted for 136 days. In the second experiment (Exp. 2) 24 goats (Bach Thao, 12 to 14 kg, all males) were assigned to three treatments in a completely randomised block design based on initial body weight. The goats were fed cabbage waste supplemented with 200 g or 100 g DM (dry matter) of concentrate. Para grass with 100 g DM concentrate supplementation was used as a control group. The experiment lasted for 90 days and at the end of the study, 12 goats were slaughtered for pesticide/insecticide analysis. Due to low DM content (5.3 and 3.7%, respectively) feed intakes of cabbage and Chinese cabbage groups were lower than those of other groups in the experiment. The highest feed intake and body weight gain was obtained when the goats were fed cauliflower (529 g DM/day and 87.5 g/day, respectively). In Exp. 2 total intake of cabbage and concentrate was similar (484 g and 453 g DM/day) whether the goats were fed 100 or 200 g concentrate/day but lower than that of Para grass and concentrate probably due to the low DM content of the cabbage (5.9%). Crude protein intake (79 g to 86 g/day) and body weight gain (70 g to 88 g/day) was not significantly different between treatments. Adding concentrate consequently resulted in higher DM intake than in Exp. 1 but did not result in any higher growth rate. Three of the pesticide/insecticide residues tested were found in cabbage, Alpha-Cypermethrin, Bassa-Fenobucarb and Dimethoate with levels of 0.175, 0.074 and 0.028 mg/kg fresh cabbage respectively. Weight of livers from goats fed cabbage was about 90 g higher than from goats fed Para grass but no pesticide/herbicide residues were found in meat or liver.

강원도 고랭지의 주요 소득원 중 하나인 배추재배는 그 재배 면적과 생산량이 지속적으로 증가하고 있지만, 병해충 방제를 위하여 사용되는 농약으로 인한 고랭지 농업환경 오염가능성에 대한 우려도 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 청정 강원도 고랭지 지역인 평창, 정선 및 태백지역의 배추경작지 토양과 수질 중 시기별 잔류농약의 오염 실태를 파악하고자 하였다. 각 지역에서 2002년 4월부터 10월까지 2개월 간격으로 토양 및 수질 시료 각각 240점과 84점을 채취하여 시료 중 농약 잔류량을 다성분 동시 스크리닝 분석법으로 분석하였다. 지역 및 시기별 잔류농약 조사 결과, 토양 중 농약의 잔류량은 평창 및 정선의 경우 18종의 농약이 $0.004\sim0.412\;mg\;kg^{-1}$수준으로 검출되었으나, 평창의 횡계리에서 10월에는 농약이 전혀 검출되지 않았다. 태백의 경우에서도 검출농약의 종류가 다른 지역과 비슷하였으며, 4월, 6월 보다는 8월 및 10월에 $0.002\sim0.663\;mg\;kg^{-1}$ 수준으로 검출되었다. 평창 및 정선에서는 살충제 endosulfan이 35%의 검출빈도를 보였으며, 태백에서 높은 검출빈도를 보인 약제로는 endosulfan이 최고 100%, 살균제 dimethomorph, diniconazole이 85%, 살충제 prothiofos와 살균제 fluazinam이 30% 이상 이였다. 또한 배추 경작지 미등록 농약(diniconazole, alachlor, carbendazim, alpha-cypermethrin, carbofuran, prothiofos)들도 $0.004\sim0.412\;mg\;kg^{-1}$ 범위로 조사되어 농약 오용의 실태를 확인할 수 있었다. 한편 채취된 모든 수질 시료에서는 농약이 검출되지 않아 토양 중 농약잔류가 수계오염에 미치는 영향이 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다.
