Dieldrin, one of the organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), induced the damages in neuroblastoma cells and DNA damages in lymphocytes. The ethanol extracts of A. sessiliflorus leaves were examined for the suppressive effects on the dieldrin-induced cell damages. Moreover, the extract was used to test whether it might inhibit the oxidative DNA damage of lymphocytes using Comet assay. The cell and DNA damage by dieldrin were suppressed in vitro upon treating A. sessiliflorus extract. This result suggests that A. sessiliflorus extract might be useful to reduce dieldrin toxicity.

Organophosphorus (OP) pesticides have largely replaced the use of organochlorine pesticides and have been widely used in agriculture and houses in recent years because of their rapid breakdown in water and their low environmental persistence. As a result, consumers are directly or indirectly exposed to organophosphorus pesticides through several food groups including meat, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, dried foods, and most processed food in which a significant amount of pesticide residues have been found.(omitted)

Hexachlorocyclohexane(HCH, 또한 benzene hexachioride(BHC)라고도 부름)은 세계 도처에서 발견되는 주요 난분해성 유기염소계 화합물들(persistent organochlorine compounds)중 하나이며, 또한 환경중 거동 및 영향들과 관련하여 가장 많이 연구되어진 살충제중 하나이다(Li et al., 1996). Technical HCH mixture($\alpha$-, $\beta$-, ${\gamma}$-, $\delta$- 및 $\varepsilon$-HCH 이성질체들의 혼합물)와 technical lindane(거의 단일의 ${\gamma}$-HCH 이성질체로 구성)은 농업, 산림 및 위생 방면에 다양한 목적을 위해 1940년말 이래로 많은 양이 사용되어져 왔다(Li et al., 1996; Breivik et al., 1999).

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common, childhood-onset, neuropsychiatric disorder with an estimated prevalence of 2-7.6% in Korean children. Although the etiology of ADHD is not well understood, evidence from genetic factor and environmental factor studies suggests that ADHD results from a gene environmental interaction. In the current study, we reviewed the evidence for and clinical implications of the hypothetical roles of organophosphate pesticides, organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, phthalate, bisphenol, polyfluoroalkyl chemicals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, manganese, tobacco, alcohol as harmful risk factors in the development of ADHD.

Chlorobenzenes (CBs) are ubiquitous hydrophobic chlorinated organic compounds in the environment. These compounds are used as de-ordants, solvents and pesticides, as well as byproducts of agro- or petro-chemical related manufacturing processes, such as PCBs and pentachlorophenol, or of biodegradation of lindane (Newhook and Meek, 1994). Unlike some organochlorine (OC) compounds, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and various pesticides, CBs are not banned from production or use in any country. (omitted)

소, 돼지, 닭 및 염소의 근육, 지방조직 및 내장부위에서 11가지 유기염소계 잔류농약을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 육류시료 모두에서 검출된 유기염소계의 잔류량은 $\alpha$-BHC, $eta$-BHC, pp'-DDE, Heptachlor epoxide, ${\gamma}$-BHC순으로 검출되었고, Heptachlor, pp'-DDE 및 pp'-DDD는 극미량 내지는 흔적 정도 검출되었고 Drins류는 검출되지 않았다. 2. Total BHC 잔류량의 범위는 소의 경우 0.389ppb~1.111ppb로 평균 0.713ppb였고, 돼지는 0.139ppb~0.150ppb로 평균 0.631ppb였으며 닭은 0.312ppb~0.80ppb로서 평균 0.517ppb였다. 그리고 염소의 경우에는 0.238ppb~1.134ppb로써 평균 0.586ppb의 수준이었다. 3. 육류별 잔류량은 소, 돼지, 염소, 닭의 순서이고 부위별 잔류량은 지방조직이 가장 많았고 그 다음이 근육, 그외 부위별 잔류량의 차이는 거의 없었다.

Samples of water, soil, and sediment were taken from 10 streams near Andong, Korea in May 2004. To assess the degree of environmental pollution of each stream, chemical pollutants such as total notrogen (T-N), total phosphorus (T-P), chemical oxygen demand (COD), heavy metals, organophosphorus pesticides, organochlorine pesticides, and dioxin-like PCB congeners were analyzed by standard process tests or U.S. EPA methods. In addition, biomarkers originated from insect immune systems of beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, were used to analysis of the environmental samples. Except Waya-chun stream showing T-N content of 9.12 mg/L, most streams were contaminated with relatively low levels of overall pollutants in terms of T-N, T-P, and COD, compared to their acceptable environmental levels designated by the Ministry of Environment. Contents of Pb and Cd in samples of each stream were much lower than environmentally permissible levels. However, several times higherconcentrations of Pb and Cd were found in locations at Mi-chun, Kilan-chun, and Hyunha-chun streams, in comparison with other streams. Diazinon, parathion, and phenthoate compounds among organophosphorus pesticides were detected as concentrations of 0.19, 0.40, and $1.13\;{\mu}g/g$, respectively, from soil sample collected in the vicinity of Mi-chun stream. On the other hand, 16 organochlorine pesticides and 12 dioxin-like PCB congeners, known as endocrine disrupting chemicals, selected in this study were not found above the limit of detection. Biomarker analyses using insect immune responses indicated that Waya-chun stream was suspected as exposure to environmental pollutants. Limitation and compensation of both environmental analysis techniques are discussed.

BACKGROUND:This study was conducted to investigate residual organochlorine pesticides (ROCPs) in agricultural soils and crops. Agricultural soil samples and crop samples were collected from 93 cities and counties. METHODS AND RESULTS: Extraction and clean-up for the quantitative analysis of ROCPs were conducted by the modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) method. Recovery and limit of detection (LOD) of ROCPs in agriculturalsoils and crops were 76.5-103.0 and 75.2-93.2%, 0.01-0.08 and $0.10-0.15{\mu}g/kg$, respectively. Detected ROCPs in agricultural soils were ${\alpha}$-endosulfan, ${\beta}$-endosulfan, and endosulfan sulfate, the residue were 2.0-12.0, 1.2-53.1, and $2.2-329.8{\mu}g/kg$, respectively. But these pesticides in all green perilla leaf and green pepper samples were not detected. CONCLUSION: These results showed that ROCPs residues in agricultural soils were not as high as crop safety threatening.

Environmental samples contaminated with elemental sulfur(waters 22, sediments 20, crucian carps 19) collected from Soho Lake during the period of Sep. 1981 to Apr. 1982 were analyzed for polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs) and organochlorine insecticides by GLC-ECD. Elemental sulfur was found to interfere in the residue analysis of environmental samples and the sulfur was eliminated, prior to analysis, with copper powder. PCBs residues in Soho lake were temporarily characterized as Aroclor 1254 and were analyzed at minimum detectable quantity of 0.04 ng by derivatizing PCBs to decachlorobiphenyl(DCB). PCBs were positively detected in all samples and its residue levels in waters, sediments, and crucian carps were $0.015{\sim}0.15$ ppb, $0.038{\sim}0.088$ ppm and 0.091 ppm, respectively. The residue levels of PCBs in all samples but sediments at central and outlet site of the lake were higher than those of total p,p'-DDT. The residue levels of PCBs in waters varied with inlets, i.e. those at right inlet site were three times of those at left inlet site. The main source of PCBs residues in the environmental samples of Soho Lake was not evident by present work.
