Organophosphorus insecticide residues were investigated in six kinds of fruits and five kinds of vegetables.The materials used in this experiment were grape, musk melon, apple, peach, plum, apricot, lettuce, green pepper, cucumber, pumpkin and tomato which were collected from June to september 1986 in Seoul. Residual pesticides investigated were Diazinon, Parathion, MEP (Fenitrothion), Malathion, EPN, MPP (Fenthion), PAP (Phenthoate) and Dimethoate and all samples were analysed by gas chromatographic technique with NPD (Nitrogen Phosphorus Detector). No sample was found to approach proposed national maximum residue limits in Korea.

유기수은제는 도열병의 특효약으로서 1953년경부터 일본의 답작에 다량으로 사용되고 있었으나 태본현의 수지방의 공장폐수중에 함유된 유기수은에 의한 중독사건 즉 minamata병을 비롯하여 살포한 유기수은의 미중의 잔류가 사회문제화되어 살포용의 유기수은제 제조는 1968년부터 금지되었다. 이 동안에 수은을 함유하지 않은 도열병 방제약제의 개발은 진보되어 1960년에 Blasticidin-S가 실용화된 것을 최초로하여 여러 가지 새로운 살균제가 개발되었다. 1969년 4월 등록허가되어 있는 도열병 방제약제는 표1과 같이 항생물질, 유기염소계약제, 유기인계약제로 대별할 수 있다. 이와같이 새로히 등장한 도열병 방제약제에 의하여 도열병은 완전히 방제할 수 있게 되었으나 이들 약제에도 여러 가지 문제점이 있는 것이다. 이 문제점등을 충분히 이해하고 적절한 대책을 세워 두는 것이 올바른 도열병 방제 기술의 확립을 위하여 필요하다고 생각되므로 이하 비수은 도열병방제약제의 현황과 문제점에 대하여 기술키로 한다.

This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of light, organophosphorus compounds and plant growth regulators on phytotoxicity of pendimethalin (3,4-dimethyl-2,6-dinitro-N-1-ethyl propylamine) in rice (Oryza saliva L.). The phytotoxicity of pendimethalin on post-germination growth of rice was greatly reduced by light treatment. This effect resulted from photodecomposition of pendimethalin. Antidoting activity on phytotoxicity of pendimethalin varied with the kind of organophosphorus compounds used and the application time. The greatest antidoting effect was obtained from edifenphos (0-3thy1 S,S-diphenylphosphorothioate). However, the effect was not observed when edifenphos was applied prior to pendimethalin. There was no antidoting effect of indole acetic acid (IAA), gibberellic acid ($GA_3$) and kinetin used alone, but combinations of 3 ppmw IAA + either 3 or 5 ppmw $GA_3$ and 1 ppmw kinetin + 10 ppmw $GA_3$ reduced the phytotoxicity of pendimethalin.

This study was carried out with the detection for multiresidue of the organophosphorus pesticides such as malathion, parathion. diazinon, and carbamate pesticide such as carbaryl, by enzyme-inhibition method. The acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and cholinesterase (ChE) activities in chicken brain determined by the Ellman's method were 166.6 and 5.8 $\mu$mol/min/g protein, and in chicken plasma were 23.1 and 8.3 $\mu$mol/min/g protein, respectively. The optimum pH of AChE and ChE was 8.2 and 7.8, respectively. The Km of AChE and ChE was 0.034 and 0.045 mM, respectively. I$\_$50/ for AChE and ChE by some organophosphorus was 55.82 and 99.42 mg/L of malathion, 31.16 and 29.13 mg/L of parathion, and 17.89 and 19.62 mg/L of diazinon, respectively. I$\_$50/ for AChE and ChE by carbaryl of carbamate was 0.10 and 0.05 mg/L, respectively. The 0.07 mg/L of drinking water advisory level for carbaryl could be detected with I$\_$50/ of AChE and ChE. Enzyme-Inhibition (EI) method with AChE and ChE was used the multiresidue method to detect the 1 mg/L of the carbamate pesticides.

A colorimetric rapid detection method based on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was developed for the analysis of organophosphorus (OP) and carbamate (CB) pesticides. The AChE catalyzes acetylthiocholine into thiocholine having (-) and (+) charges, and the (+) charge results in gold nanoparticle (GNP) aggregation. The in-activation of AChE by OP and CB has been well known. In order to optimize the colorimetric method, optimal dilution times of commercial serum containing AChE, diameter of GNP, and concentration of acetylthiocholine were tested as a key parameter. The colorimetric detection limits of the method were 7.5 ng/mL for both dimethyl amine and carbofuran pesticides in 60% ethanol. No cross-reaction to other chemicals, such as aflatoxin B1 and ochratoxin A, which can be contaminated with pesticides in agricultural products, was observed. Recoveries from lettuce, sesame leaf, and cabbage lettuce spiked with known concentrations of dimethyl amine and carbofuran were found to be ranged from 83.85 to 133.16%. These results indicated that the colorimetric rapid method based on AChE can be a useful tool for the sensitive, specific, rapid, and accurate detection of OP and CB pesticides in fresh vegetables.

Flupyrazofos (O,O-diethyl-O-(1-phenyl-3-trifluoromethyl-5-pyrazoyl)thiophosphoric acid ester) is a new organo-phosphorous insecticide. Flupyrazofos has exhibited excellent activity against diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella, DBM), and it is highly activity against rice armyworm(Pseudaleta separata) and cotton caterpillar(Palpita indicae). Flupyrazofos has then revealed outstanding both rapidity and residual action for DBM, although no systemic actions were observed and no cross-resistances were found to the resistance strains (Op-R, Py-R, IGR-R). Also, susceptibilities of five local strains to flupyrazofos were similar to those of the susceptible strain. These results indicate that flupyrazofos has considerable potential for controlling diamondback moth, rice armyworm and cotton caterpillar in field.

A study was carried out to find out the methodology of biological treatment for wastes and wastewater caused by an organophosporus insecticide, fenitrothion, using fenitrothion-degrading microorganism. A fenitrothion-degrading microorganism was isolated by using a selective nutrient broth (NB) medium including fenitrothion, and identified to Bacillus sphaericus NFol based on its morphological and biochemical characteristics. Further, investigation was processed to determine the optimal culture conditions degrading fenitrothion in NB medium by using the NFo1 strain. As results, the cultural conditions determined for temperature, initial pH and inoculum for the optimum growth of the strain and degradation of fenitrothion, which has a exact co-relationship between both of them, were $35^{\circ}C$, 7.5 and 1.5 at $OD_{660}$ value, respectively. In this conditions, fenitrothion could be degraded within 5 days over 90% at the high concentrations of fenitrothion, upto 200 mg/L.

Photodegradation rate of flupyrazofos in aqueous solution were measured under various test conditions mainly following the guidelines of U.S. EPA and OECD. It was observed that the flupyrazofos was degraded by simple hydrolysis but not degraded by light in pure water. Using acetone as a known photosensitizer, the minimal concentration of acetone needed to photo-degrade the flupyrazofos in % and molar terms were 0.047% and 0.006, respectively. When treated with acetone, it was also found that the ringlet oxygen is a very effective photo oxidant in the degradation of flupyrazofos, but the effect of hydroxyl radical was not observed at the treatment level of hydroxyl radical, isopropylbenzene. In an actinometer experiment, quantum yield of flupyrazofos (0.4 ppm with 2% acetone) was $17.66{\times}10^{-5}$ and degradation rate and half-life were 0.038/hr and 18.2 hours, respectively.

Present study was carried out to elucidate the effect of phorate (0,0-dietyl S-ethylthiomethyl phosphorodithioate), an organophosphorus insecticide on the acetylcholinesterase(AChE) and cholinesterase(ChE) activity in the chicken brain and plasma. The inhibitory effect of phorate and its metabolites on AChE and ChE activity was also increased in the order of phorate (p=S,S)$(p=S,SO_2)<phoratoxon$ (p=O,S)$(P=O,SO_2)$. Acute oral $LD_{50}$ of phorate was 1.02mg/kg. After oral administration of phorate, the activity of plasma ChE was inhibited more rapidly then that of brain AChE, whereas recovery of plasma ChE activity was more rapid than that of brain AChE activity.

The removal of three pesticides which were residued in chinese cabbage was investigated during making process of Kimchi. When chinese cabbage was washed by water, the removal rates of three pesticides were 62.0%, 54.8% and 61.1% for pirimiphos-methyl, chlorpyrifos and prothiofos, respectively. Pesticides remaining in chinese cabbage after washing by water were also removed from 22.4% to 23.8% by salting. During the fermentation of kimchi for 24 days at 4。C, the pH was lowered 4.5 from 5.8 and the residual amount of pesticides was decreased by 51.4% to 69.4% for three Pesticides remaining after washing and salting On the other hand, when Kimchi was fermented under various temperature for 11 days, the residual amount of chlorpyrifos was decreased up to 29.2%, 45.0% and 77.3% of initial concentration at 4, 10 and 20 。C, respectively. The residual amount of chlorpyrifos in Kimchi was decreased up to 16.3% by heating at 100 。C for 6.5 minutes.
