Abstract

The Environmental Impact Quotient(EIQ) has been used to organize the extensive toxicological and soil residue data available on some fruit vegetables pesticides into a usable form for field use. It addresses a majority of the environmental concerns that are encountered in agricultural systems including farm worker, consumer, ecological and environmental safety. The EIQ made use of the rating system by using the EIQ equation. The EIQ of pesticides registered for oriental melon was higher than that of other in terms of farm worker, consumer and environmental safety. Pesticides registered for red pepper showed highest EIQ in ecosystem. The EIQ decreased in order of insecticide> fungicide> herbicide> plant growth regulator. The environment Impact Quotient for the pesticides registered in fruit and vegetables decrease gradually.

국내 과채류에 등록된 농약의 독성 및 토양잔류시험성적 등을 이용하여 포장에서 사용되는 농약에 대하여 환경영향 평가가 가능한 환경영향지수 모델을 만들고자 수행하였다 환경영향과 관련된 주요 평가 항목은 농작업자, 소비자, 생태계 및 환경영향항목으로 구성하였으며, 환경영향 평가는 rating 방식을 채택하여 환경영향지수 공식을 만들어서 사용하였다. 작물별 환경영향 지수는 참외에 등록된 농약이 농작업자, 소비자 및 환경에 대한 영향 지수가 다른 작물에 비하여 약간 높았고, 생태계에서는 고추에 등록된 농약이 가장 높았다. 또한 농약종류별 환경영향 지수를 비교한 결과는 살충제>상균제>제초제>생장조정제 순으로 높았으며, 전반적으로 과채류에 등록된 농약의 환경영향지수는 점차적으로 감소하는 추세였다.
