BACKGROUND: Residual organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are chemical substances that persist in the environment, bioaccumulate through the food web, and pose a risk of causing adverse effect to human health and the environment. They were designated as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) by Stockholm Convention. Greenhouse strawberry is economic crop in agriculture, and its cultivation area and yield has been increased. Therefore, we tried to investigate the POPs residue in greenhouse soil and strawberry.METHODS AND RESULTS: Extraction and clean-up method for the quantitative analysis of OCPs was developed and validated by gas chromatography (GC) with electron capture detector (ECD). The clean-up method was established using the modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe(QuEChERS) method for OCPs in soil and strawberry. Limit of quantitation (LOQ) and recovery rates of OCPs in greenhouse soil and strawberry were 0.9-6.0 and 0.6-0.9 μg/kg, 74.4-115.6 and 75.6-88.4%, respectively. The precision was reliable sincerelative standard deviation (RSD) percentage (0.5-3.7 and 2.9-5.2%) was below 20, which was the normal percent value. The residue of OCPs in greenhouse soil was analyzed by the developed method, and dieldrin, β-endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate were detected at 1.6-23, 2.2-28.4 and 1.8-118.6 μg/kg, respectively. Those in strawberry were not detected in all samples.CONCLUSION: Dieldrin, β-endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate in a part of investigated greenhouse soil were detected. But those were not detected in investigated greenhouse strawberry. These results showed that the residue in greenhouse soil were lower level than bioaccumulation occurring.

Objectives: This study was performed in order to evaluate whether 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) could be detected among residents living near Camp Caroll in Waegwan and whether serum concentrations of dioxins, including 2,3,7,8-TCDD, and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are associated with length of residence. Methods: Study subjects totaled 113 (for dioxins) and 190 (for OCPs) adults who were selected from participants in a medical investigation. Serum concentrations of dioxins and OCPs were measured using HRGC/HRMS. Information on length of residence was obtained through questionnaires. Results: 2,3,7,8-TCDD was not detected in serum among all subjects. When length of residence was classified as a categorical variable, after adjusting for confounding variables, only residents living in Waegwan for 40 years or longer tended to have high total TEQ values and 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF with marginal significances. There was no dose-response relation between length of residence and serum concentrations of these chemicals. In multiple regression models with continuous values of the length of residence, total TEQ value and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF were positively associated with length of residence. However, they explained about 3-5% of total variations of serum concentrations of these compounds, while age, consumption of fatty fish, body mass index, alcohol drinking, and cigarette smoking were main variables affecting serum concentrations of dioxins or OCPs. Conclusions: In the current study, high concentrations of certain compounds were mainly observed among persons who lived in Waegwan for at least for 40 years without a dose-response relation. Therefore, it seems difficult to conclude that length of residence meaningfully contributed to the current serum concentrations of dioxins or OCPs among residents in Waegwan. However, considering the half-life of 2,3,7,8-TCDD and indirect exposure routes, the limitations of the current study design should be considered in the interpretation of the study findings.

This study was carried out for dietary safety based on the level of pesticide residues in 17 kinds of the agricultural products (apple, cabbage, cabbage kor, carrot, cucumber, pepper, onion, potato, radish, spring onion, pumpkin, lettuce, garlic, drapwort, spinach, leek crown daisy) consumed in Kyunggi-do and Inchon-city that provided for the army. From January 1998 to December 2001, ten organochlorine pesticides in 1075 samples were analyzed by using GC-ECD. According to the results, one kind of pesticides was detected in 135(12.5%) samples, and two kinds were in 7 (5.18%). While dicofol and tetradifon was not fecund. Detection rate of pesticides were 9.02% for $\alpha$, $\beta$-endosulfan, 2.8% far chlorothalonil, 0.46% for γ-BHC, 0.40% for chlorobenzilate, 0.33% for folpet, 0.28% far DDT, 0.15% for captafol, and 0.11% for captan. Dectection ranges of pesticides were from 0.001 to 0.092 ppm for $\alpha$, $\beta$-endosulfan, from 0.003 to 0.023 ppm for chlorothalonil, from 0.003 to 0.006 ppm far γ -BHC, from 0.001 to 0.003 ppm for DDT, from 0.009 to 0.095 ppm for folpet, 0.05 ppm for captan, 0.01 ppm for captafol, and 0.008 ppm far chlorobenzilatel respectively. Consequentlyl all detected pesticide levels in samples were below maximum residue limits(MRLs) in Korea and Codex.

The analytical method of extracting compounds from human blood to examine accumulated organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) has been widely used the traditional liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) method and solid-phase extraction (SPE) method, yet these methods have certain limitations in purification and usafe of a large amount of sample. In order to overcome the se problems reside in these, solid-phase microextraction (SPME), known as a highly efficient extration method with less samples and relatively simple, was employed to collect 18 different kinds of OCPs in blood as extraction method in this study. To optimize extraction method, we examine various experimental SPME-parameters such as adsorption (fiber type, adsorption time, adsorption temperature, salting out effect), and desorption (desorption time, desorption temperature etc.). From the experimental results, the optimal conditions are as follows: fiber was polyacrylate with $85{\mu}m$, adsorption time was for 5 min, adsorption optimum temperature was at $280^{\circ}C$, and salting out effect was NaCl with 0.1 g. MDL, precision and accuracy was in the ranges of 0.05~0.20 ng/mL, 5.59~13.39%, respedively, and accuracy was -0.5% ~24.5% for all OCPs.

We studied about analyzing carbamate pesticides, organochlorine, organophosphorus pesticides simultaneously using by GC/MSD. For this, instead of HPLC which is generally used in analyzing carbamate pesticides, GC was used and all hydrogen of -NH group in carbamate pesticides were substituted for trifluoroacetyl group which is stable at heat And eight pesticide resdidues were not detected in nine samples circulated in the city.

최근 많은 종류의 농약들이 개발되었으며, 경작지역(agricultural area) 뿐만 아니라 골프장, 공원 및 정원에 널리 사용해 왔다. 이들 농약들은 인체 및 동물들에 유해한 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 더욱이 농약이 살포된 지역주변의 수질 및 대기의 오염은 사회적 문제로 부각되고 있다. 따라서 환경중 농약들의 농도를 측정하여 그들의 거동을 연구하는 것은 매우 중요하다(Haraguchi et al.,1994). (중략)
