Abstract

This survey was carried out to estimate pesticide residue levels in commercial agricultural products in the year 2009. Residues were examined in 16 commodities (rice, foxtail millet, buckwheat, kidney beans, peanuts, sesame, oranges, grapefruit, kiwifruit, spinach, perilla leaves, leeks, garlic stem, garlic, ginger, and oak mushroom) collected from 22 provinces in Korea. Analyses were performed by multi-methods capable of detecting up to 60 pesticides by LC/MS/MS. A total of 510 samples were collected and analyzed. Of the samples, 96.1% contained no detectable pesticide residues. Detectable residues at or below the MRLs were found in 3.5% of the samples. However, in 0.4% of the samples (spinach and leeks), residue (ethaboxam and fluquinconazole) levels exceeded the MRLs. Furthermore, intake assessments of 7 kinds of pesticide residues were carried out, excluding those exceeding the MRLs. The results showed that the ratios of EDI (estimated daily intake) to ADI (acceptable daily intake) were 0.0001-0.0006%, which indicates that the detected pesticide residues were in a safe range. It is concluded that residual pesticides in agricultural products are properly controlled in Korea.

국내 유통 농산물 16품목을 대상으로 LC/MS/MS로 분석 가능한 다종다성분 농약 60종을 검사하여 식품의 잔류농약 안전성을 조사하였다. 조사대상 농산물 510건 중 대부분의 농산물인 490건(96.1%)의 농산물은 농약이 검출되지 않았으며, 18건(3.5%)의 농산물에서 농약이 검출되었으나, 대부분 잔류허용기준 미만으로 검출되었다. 들깻잎, 부추 등 엽채류의 검출빈도가 높은 편이었으나 대부분 잔류허용기준 미만으로 검출되었고, 시금치, 부추에서 각각 ethaboxam, fluquinconazole이 잔류허용기준 이상으로 검출되었다. 검출 농약은 9종이었으며, azoxystrbin과 dimethomorph가 가장 많이 검출되었다. 쌀 등 16품목의 다소비 농산물을 대상으로한 모니터링 결과 농약의 잔류량은 대부분 잔류허용기준 미만으로 비교적 안전한 수준으로 농산물에 대한 농약 관리가 이루어지고 있는 것으로 판단되었다.
