Some of organophosphate pesticides which are the most heavily used in Korea, were examined for their effects on the murine immune system. Immunotoxicological assay parameters adaopted in this study were Arthus reaction for humoral immunity, delayed type hypersensitivity reaction for cell mediate immunity, carbon clearance for macrophage function and susceptiility to tumor challenge. Subchronic exposure of rodents to the pesticides resulted in the marked suppression of immune functions and enhancement of susceptibility to tumor challenge. Among the pesticides tested (fenitrothion, fenthion, diazinon and EPN), fenitrothion was the most suppressive in Arthus and delayed type hypersensitivity reaction.

The detection of carbamate (carbofuran, carbaryl, benfracarb, thiodicarb, and methomil) and organophosphate (diazinon, cadusafos, ethoprofos, parathion-methyl, and chlorpyrifos) pesticide residues with very low detection limits was carried out using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based equipment. The capacity to develop a portable SPR biosensor for food safety was also investigated. The applied ligand for the immunoassays was polyclonal goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin (IgG) peroxidase conjugate. Concentration tests using direct binding assays showed the possibility of quantitative analysis. For ligand fishing to find a proper antibody to respond to each pesticide, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) were tested. The reproducibility and precision of SPR measurements were evaluated. With this approach, the limit of detection for pesticide residues was 1 ng/mL and analysis took less than 11 min. Thus, it was demonstrated that detecting multi-class pesticide residues using SPR and IgG antibodies provides enough sensitivity and speed for use in portable SPR biosensors.

Objectives : This study was designed to evaluate the pesticide residue of herb medicine through high density ozone water cleaning system. Materials and Methods : We purchased ginseng(Panax ginseng) on market and sprayed pesticides (Diazinon) on ginseng. We analyzed pesticide residue according to washing methods(untreated, ozone water cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning, Water cleaning). As a result of each washing methods, in ozone water cleaning method pesticide residue was much less remained than in Ultrasonic Cleaning method and water cleaning method. Conclusions : High density ozone water cleaning is the best method for removing pesticides of herbal medicine.

Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) contents in the sewage sludge derived from the residential and industrial areas were determined in order to characterize contemporary organic contamination levels as a part of the ongoing development of the environmentally sound sewage sludge management strategy in Korea. OPPs were extracted from freeze-dried sludges in a ultrasonic extractor. The extracts were cleaned-up by florisil column and subsequently fed into gas chromatograph/nitrogen phosphorus detector (GC/NPD) for determining OPP contents. Diazinon, dimethoate, disulfoton, EPN, malathion, methyl parathion, parathion, phorate and sulfotep were present in the appreciable amount in the domestic sewage sludges. The sum of the 9 OPPs in the sewage sludge varied from 534.8 to 15552.1 ${\mu}g/kg$, dry wt..

1. 본시험은 이화곤충방제에 유효하다고 인정된 신살충제를 선정하여 이화곤충에 대한 살충효과의 재확인 및 살포적기를 구명코저 시행하였다. 2. 제일화기에 있어서 Diazinon, Lebaycild, Endrin 및 Folidol은 부화 14일전 처리로서도 부화유충의 식입제로서 유효하였고, 부화유충 식입후일처리구에 있어서도 무처리구에 비하여 유효하였다. 3. 제2화기에 있어 부화 21일전 처리구의 유효성은 Detron=Folidol>$\gamma$-dol>Endrin>Dimecron의 순이었다. 그리고 부화 14일 및 17일전과 부화 2일 및 7일후 처리에 있어서도 $\gamma-dol$을 제한 다음 약제들은 고도의 유효성을 나타내었다. 4. 그러나 약제처리시기 사이에는 유의성이 없었다. 5. 본시험은 1회의 시험성적임으로 동일시험이 수회반복되어 살충효과 및 살포적기가 완전히 구명되었으면 한다.

본 연구에서는 휴믹 물질의 존재 시 흑탄의 주입량에 따른 농약 성분별 흡착 제거율 변화를 살펴보았다. 농약 성분과 휴믹산 을 주입 시 흑탄의 흡착능 변화를 알아보기 위해, 흑탄 주입량을 1g, 3g, 5g, 7g 달리하여 농약 성분의 제거율 변화를 살펴본 결과 흑탄 1g, 흑탄 7g, 휴믹 산불 주입 시 농약성분 만을 주입하였을 때 보다 각각 18$\sim$67%, 7$\sim$10% 낮은 제거율을 나타내었다. 또한 휴믹산 10mg/L, 50mg/L을 주입하여 휴믹산의 주입농도 증가 시 흡착 능에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과 휴믹산 농도를 늘릴수록 흡착되지 않고 남아있는 농약성분 농도가 높아졌다. 농약성분 제거를 위한 흡착제로의 흑탄의사용은 3 가지 농약성분 (Butachlor, Fenitrothion, Diazinon)에 대해 높은 제거율을 보였으며, 자연수 속에 녹아있는 휴믹물질 중 하나인 휴믹산에 의한 영향을 받을 것으로 보여진다.

In this study, sixty chemicals including 47 pesticides were screened for estrogenic activity using E-screen assay. MCF-7 cell, used in E-screen assay, is known to be proliferated by addition of estrogenic chemicals. Eight of the measured pesticides showed estrogenic activity at the concentration range of 100-10,000nM. Their relative proliferative effect (RPE) and the relative proliferative potency (RPP) were 20-65% and 0.01-1.0%, respectively, when compared with 1.0nM of $\beta-Estradiol-17-acetate(E_{2}).$ DDVP and diazinone showed most strong estrogenic potency(RPP; 1.0%) and effect(RPE; 65%) of the eight pesticides. These results are in agreement with estrogenic activity of bisphenol A is known as a positive endocrine disrupter. Also, in this study, paraquat, DDVP, 4-chloro-3-methylphenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and diazinon of the measured pesticides are estimated to estrogenic chemical.

Laboratory susceptibility tests with various insecticides against houseflies(Musca domestica L.) were simultaneously conducted with larvae. As a result of these experment the following conclusion has been obtained. 1. The relative ratio to various insecticidal effects were naled>DDVP>diazinon>${\gamma}-BHC$>malathion>dieldrin>DDT in houseflies larvae. 2. It was noted that resistance to various insecticides in larvae was in proportion to resistance in adults.

An attempt was made to determine the residual distribution of organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides in the various kinds of Korean tea which were purchased form the maket. The organochlorine pesticides investigated in this study were BHC, DDT and dicofol and the organophoshorus pesticides were diazinon, EPN, fenitrothion and parathion. The pesticide residues were determined by GC-ECD and BHC was detected in all the samples and it's level were ranged from 0.00064 po 0.05995 ppm and it's average was 0.00682 ppm and DDT, dicofol and organophosphorus pesticides were not detected in all samples. The organophophorus pesticides were detected(0.0035∼0.0983 ppm) in raw materials but were not in the manufactured material and it is considered that the largely components of the pesticides is removed by drying and high temperature while the tea was manufactured. The recovery tests of the pesticides gave satisfactory results showing an average yield of 97.6% with organochlorine pesticides and 92.5% with organophoshorus pesticides and the detection limits level were 0.00008 ppm to 0.0010 ppm.

The potential for a given anticholinesterase pesticide to exhibit age-related toxicity is essential information for an accurate and proper risk assessment of that compound. This investigation was designed to study the age-related toxicity of active metabolites of four organophosphates using in vitro detoxification measurement. The blood samples were collected from 1 month and 18 months old rats. The $IC_{50}$ values of mouse brain recombinant AChE of chlorpyrifos-oxon, diazoxon, malaoxon and paraoxon were 10.35, 112.84, 151.28 and 18.43 nM, respectively. When the plasma of young rats, and $CaCI_2$were added, the $IC_{50}$ values of mouse brain recombinant AChE of chlorpyrfos-oxon, diazoxon, malaoxon and paraoxon were 31.89, 164.25, 139.94 and 16.36 nM, respectively. The $IC_{50}$ values of mouse brain recombinant AChE of chlorpyrifos-oxon, diazoxon, malaoxon and paraoxon were changed to 136.840, 1244.45, 654.54 and 52.66 nM by A-esterases In adult rats. These results suggest that four organophosphates have a potential toxicity to exhibit age-related sensitivity.
