Abstract

This study investigated pesticide residues in 7,069 agricultural products distributed in the city of Incheon from 2019 to 2021. Ingestion of pesticides can cause serious carcinogenic, endocrine, neurological, and reproductive problems. Pesticide residues in the samples were analyzed using various multi-residue methods (GC-MS/MS, GC-ECD/NPD, LC-MS/MS, and HPLC-UVD) on the Korean Food Code. The violation rate of the samples exceeding the maximum residue level (MRL) of pesticide residues for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021 was 1.0%, 1.4%, and 1.1%, respectively. Diazinon, flubendiamide, procymidone, fluxametamide, and fluquinconazole were the most frequently reported violative pesticide residues. Most commonly encountered agricultural products exceeding MRLs were coriander leaves, chamnamul, chwinamul, welsh onion, and crown daisy. Agricultural products and pesticides frequently exceeding MRLs should be continuously inspected for food safety. Continuous monitoring of pesticide residues in agricultural products is indispensable to improve consumer safety by preventing the distribution of agricultural products exceeding MRLs.

인천광역시에서 유통 중인 농산물을 대상으로 2019년부터 2021년까지 최근 3년간 잔류농약 모니터링을 실시한 결과 총 7,069건 중 83건(1.2%)이 잔류허용기준을 초과하였다. 농약 잔류허용기준을 초과한 부적합 농산물의 비율은 1.0%, 1.4%, 1.1%으로 매년 유사한 수준으로 나타났으며 잔류농약 검출율은 8.2%, 8.4%, 7.4%를 보였다. 최근 3년간 diazinon, flubendiamide, procymidone, fluxametamide, fluquinconazole, hexaconazole 등의 순서로 부적합 검출빈도가 높았으며 농산물 분류별로는 전체 농산물 중 엽채류와 허브류에서 매년 83% 이상 발생하였다. 부적합 발생빈도가 높았던 농산물은 고수(잎), 참나물, 취나물, 파 등이었으며 고수(잎)은 3년 연속으로 부적합 건수가 가장 많았다. 농산물 생산지역별로는 경기, 인천, 충남, 전남 순으로 부적합 건수가 많았으나 지역별 출하 농산물의 검사건수 대비 부적합율은 1.5% 내외로 큰 차이는 없었다. 일부 농산물에서 농약 잔류허용기준의 최대 250배까지 잔류농약이 검출되는 사례도 발생하므로 부적합이 자주 발생하는 농산물, 부적합 검출빈도가 높은 농약 성분들의 철저한 관리가 요구된다. 특히, 농약 사용량 및 사용법 준수, 출하시기 조절 등 농민들의 교육 및 인식 개선이 필요할 것으로 보인다. 안전이 확보된 농산물의 생산과 유통, 소비자의 안전한 식생활을 보장하기 위해서는 농산물에 대한 잔류농약 모니터링을 지속적으로 실시하여 부적합 발생 농산물의 유통을 사전에 차단하는 것이 무엇보다 중요할 것으로 판단된다.
