Abstract

In order to determine the residue levels of organochlorine insecticides in cow's milk, 66 commercial milk samples were collected from markets in major cities of Korea and analyzed for their fat contents and pesticide residue levels. The fat contents were in the range of $2.65{\sim}3.87%$, the average being 3.35%. The average residue levels of organochlorine insecticides on fat basis (whole milk basis in parentheses) were 0.196 ppm (0. 0066 ppm) of ${\alpha}-BHC$, 0.159ppm (0.0055 ppm) of ${\beta}-BHC$, 0.066 ppm (0.0022 ppm) of heptachlor epoxide and 0.042ppm (0.0015 ppm) of DDE. Heptachlor, DDT and drin insecticides were not detected. These residue levels corresponding to $1/10{\sim}1/50$ of tolerance levels adopted in Japan appear to exhibit no adverse effect as yet from the standpoint of food safety.

한국산 시판(市販) 우유(牛乳)중 유기염소계(有機鹽素系) 살충제의 잔류(殘溜) 실태(實態)를 분석(分析)하고 그의 위해(危害)여부를 평가(評價)한 결과는 다음과 같다. 전국 주요 도시에서 수집한 시판(市販) 우유(牛乳) 66개 시료중 지방(脂肪) 함량은 $2.65{\sim}3.87%$ 범위(3.35% 평균)이었으며 유기 염소계 농약의 평균(平均) 잔류(殘留)량(量)은 지방(脂肪) 기준(전유(全乳) 기준)으로 ${\alpha}-BHC$ 0.196ppm (0.0066ppm), ${\beta}-BHC$ 0.159ppm (0.0055ppm), heptachlor epoxide and 0.055ppm (0.0022 ppm), DDE 0.042ppm (0.0015ppm), heptachlor, DDT, 드린제(濟)는 불검출(不檢出)이었다. 이와 같은 잔류(殘溜) 수준(水準)은 일본에서의 잔류(殘留) 허용량(許容量)의 $1/10{\sim}1/50$에 해당되는 양이므로 식품(食品) 위생적(衛生的)인 관점에서 크게 우려 할 바가 아닌 것으로 판단되었다.
