본 연구에서는 울산지역에서 유통되는 로컬푸드 농산물 367건에 대해 다성분 분석법을 이용하여 잔류농약 350종을 분석한 결과 다음과 같다. 로컬푸드 농산물에 대한 잔류농약 분석 결과 21.5%(79건)의 검출률을 보였으며 부적합률은 1.1%(4건)으로 나타났다. 품목별로 과일류는 65건 중 27건(41.5%), 채소류는 242건 중 50건(20.7%), 두류는 7건 중 1건(14.3%), 곡류 11건 중 1건(9.1%) 검출률을 보였고, 취나물, 곤달비, 파, 살구에서 기준치 이상의 잔류농약이 검출되었다. 검출된 잔류농약은 총 58종 163회로 살충제 성분이 가장 많이 검출되었고 고독성 농약 1회, 보통 독성 농약 9회, 저독성 농약이 48종이었다. 부적합 처리된 품목을 포함한 검출된 잔류농약 항목에 대한 위해도 평가 결과 위해지수(%ADI) 가 0.0000-63.1043% 으로 모두 100% 미만으로 위해하지 않은 수준으로 판단되었다. 지속적으로 로컬푸드 농산물의 운동 추진 방향인 지역 활성화와 안전한 먹거리 공급체계구축의 목적을 위해 엄격히 관리되는 기준으로 안전성 검사를 실시하고, 신뢰성 확보를 위한 생산자 교육 및 홍보, 출하 전 안전성 검사 관리시스템이 정착된다면 울산지역 로컬푸드 농산물 사업이 더욱 활성화되고 지속적으로 추진 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives: To evaluate the policies on 2009 influenza pandemic in Korea at the end of first wave. Methods: The main policies and the estimation of these were described according to the progress of 2009 influenza pandemic. Results: The public health measures for containment were estimated to be successful in the early stage. The preparedness of antiviral agents and vaccines before the pandemic, risk-communication on pandemic influenza and policies of government including vaccines, and the education of health care worker and support of health care institutions was not enough to respond to the pandemic. Conclusions: The additional evaluation should be performed at the end of the pandemic in various aspects including health and socioeconomic effects.

Objectives: We examined the prevalence of tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke among middle-school students in Korea using the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) in 2013. Methods: The GYTS in Korea was conducted between July and August 2013 by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Data were collected using a self-administered anonymous questionnaire from a nationally representative sample of middle-school students aged 13-15 years in sampled classrooms. Results: The GYTS in Korea was completed by 4235 students aged 13-15 years in 43 middle schools. Approximately one in five of the students (17.8%) reported that they had tried cigarettes in the past, while 5.2% reported currently being cigarette smokers. Current cigarette smoking was higher in boys (7.5%) than in girls (2.6%). Of the students, 29.7% had been exposed to secondhand smoke at home, 47.4% inside enclosed public places, and 53.9% in outdoor public places. Of the current cigarette smokers, 25.7% bought their cigarettes from a store despite a law prohibiting this. Additionally, 58.0% of students noticed point-of-sale tobacco advertisements or promotions, 66.8% of current cigarette smokers wanted to stop smoking, and 70.9% of students had been taught about the dangers of tobacco use in school. Conclusions: These findings provide an opportunity to develop, implement, and evaluate a comprehensive tobacco control policy. The results suggest that youth have relatively easy access to cigarettes and are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke in public places, as well as to point-of-sale tobacco advertisements and promotions. Strict enforcement of the ban on tobacco sales to youth, expanding smoke-free areas, and advertising bans are needed to reduce tobacco use among youth.

Objectives: Estimating the number of deaths caused by smoking is crucial for developing and evaluating tobacco control and smoking cessation policies. This study aimed to determine smoking-attributable mortality (SAM) in Korea in 2020. Methods: Four large-scale cohorts from Korea were analyzed. A Cox proportional-hazards model was used to determine the hazard ratios (HRs) of smoking-related death. By conducting a meta-analysis of these HRs, the pooled HRs of smoking-related death for 41 diseases were estimated. Population-attributable fractions (PAFs) were calculated based on the smoking prevalence for 1995 in conjunction with the pooled HRs. Subsequently, SAM was derived using the PAF and the number of deaths recorded for each disease in 2020. Results: The pooled HR for all-cause mortality attributable to smoking was 1.73 for current men smokers (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.53 to 1.95) and 1.63 for current women smokers (95% CI, 1.37 to 1.94). Smoking accounted for 33.2% of all-cause deaths in men and 4.6% in women. Additionally, it was a factor in 71.8% of men lung cancer deaths and 11.9% of women lung cancer deaths. In 2020, smoking was responsible for 53 930 men deaths and 6283 women deaths, totaling 60 213 deaths. Conclusions: Cigarette smoking was responsible for a significant number of deaths in Korea in 2020. Monitoring the impact and societal burden of smoking is essential for effective tobacco control and harm prevention policies.

Background: Education on environmental health in Korea was begun with establishment of the Graduate School of Public Health at Seoul National University 1959. The sanitary movement started in Europe and the Americas in the 19th century and was introduced to Korea in the 1960s under the name of sanitary engineering. The field enlarged along with title changes. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the previous and present status of the environmental and public health fields in Korea. Methods: This study utilized documents published by the South Korean Ministry of Education and Korean Education Development Institute (KEDI) from 2015 to 2020, the homepages of universities with their history and regulations, and other related published documents. Results: Public health was fundamentally enlarged as an expert field in Korea with the establishment of the Graduate School of Public Health at Seoul National University in 1959. There are 102 departments relevant to the environmental field at two-year colleges, 220 at universities, and 175 at graduate schools. There are 89 departments relevant to the public health field at colleges, 96 at universities, and 160 at graduate schools as of 2020. The term "environment" in the title of a department is used as much as 80~93.1%, but "public health" in titles is used in 47.7~61.5%. Fifty percent of graduate schools of public health award specialty degrees other than master of public health. Conclusions: Although environment and public health fields have been expanded in universities in Korea, various specialty fields were included in university and graduate school. It is important to consider the coping plan with the trend.

본 연구에서는 유통 중인 분말 농산물가공품의 안전성확보를 위하여 대형마트, 온라인 쇼핑몰에서 수거한 104건을 대상으로 다종농약다성분분석법으로 검사 가능한 잔류농약 373종 및 금속성 이물을 검사하였다. 품목별 수거현황은 향신식물 33건(31.7%), 과일류 31건(29.8%), 채소류 25건(24.0%), 서류 5건(4.8%) 순이었다. 잔류농약은 전체 104건 중 7건에서 잔류허용기준 이내로 검출되어 6.7%의 검출률을 보였으며 기준을 초과한 부적합 제품은 없었다. 깔라만시분말에서 chlorpyrifos, malathion, permethrin, 노니분말에서 fenoxanil, 쑥분말에서 tebuconazole, 파프리카분말에서 tetraconazole, 신선초분말에서 etofenprox가 검출되었는데 이는 농산물중의 잔류농약이 가공품으로 이행되었을 것으로 보인다. 금속성 이물은 22.1%(23건)의 검출률을 보였으며 기준을 초과한 제품은 계피분말, 강황분말, 새싹보리분말, 쑥분말 등 16건이 발생하여 분말 농산물가공품에서는 금속성이물의 관리가 무엇보다 중요할 것으로 판단된다. 금속성 이물(쇳가루)은 단단한 건조 농산물을 분말로 만드는 분쇄과정에서 금속성 재질의 롤밀, 칼날 등의 마찰로 인해 미세한 쇳가루가 발생하면서 분말 농산물가공품에 섞여 들어가는 것으로 추정된다. 분말 농산물가공품의 안전관리를 위해서는 원재료인 농산물의 안전성 확보를 기본으로 건조원료의 분쇄과정 중 발생하는 금속성 이물의 최소화, 금속성 이물 제거 장치의 설치, 분말 농산물가공품의 정기적인 모니터링 등의 체계적인 관리를 통해 제품의 안전성을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
