This experiment was carried out to develop the fast and simple method for pesticide residue analysis by using solvent free solid injector (SFSI) and to validate the efficiency of the method developed for the residue analysis of the endocrine disruptor-like pesticides such as endosulfan, metribuzin, trifluralin and vinclozolin. The samples after freeze drying were sealed in glass capillary tubes and then introduced into the heated injector of gas chromatogaphy. The required pre-heating times were 1 min for endosulfan and trifluralin, 5 min for vinclozolin, and 10 min for metribuzin. The detection limits of endosulfan in chinese cabbages, metribuzin in lettuces, trifluralin in spinachs and vinclozolin in hot peppers were 0.05, 0.1, 0.05 and 0.05 ng, respectively and their recoveries were ranged from 74%, $98{\sim}107%$, $86{\sim}95%$ and $94{\sim}95%$, respectively. The detected level of metribuzine residue in field lettuce samples by using the SFSI was 0.6 ng/mg.
