Abstract

Herein, we present the results of our investigation of 61 pesticide residues in 100 samples of green teas obtained from Korean markets. Bifenthrin, chlorpyrifos, dicofol, EPN, chlorfenapyr, tebuconazole, cyhalothrin, difenoconazole, and tebufenpyrad were detected in 22 of the 100 green tea samples. The quantity of pesticide residues for bifenthrin was 0.12 ppm (maximum residue limits (MRLs): 0.3 ppm) in one sample, chlorpyrifos was 0.24-0.78 ppm (MRLs: 2.0 ppm) in three samples, dicofol was 1.64-4.19 ppm (MRLs: 50.0 ppm) in two samples, EPN was 0.13 ppm (MRLs: 0.05 ppm) in one sample, chlorfenapyr was 0.01-1.23 ppm (MRLs: 3.0 ppm) in 16 samples, tebuconazole was 0.71 ppm (MRLs: 5.0 ppm) in one sample, cyhalothrin was 0.05-0.3 ppm (MRLs: 2.0 ppm) in five samples, difenoconazole was 0.23 ppm (MRLs: 2.0 ppm) in one sample, and tebufenpyrad was 0.06-0.07 ppm (MRLs: 2.0 ppm) in two samples. More than two pesticide residues were detected in seven samples. All detected pesticide residues (with the exception of EPN) were within the MRLs.

국내유통 녹차 100품목 중 조사대상 61종 농약의 잔류실태를 조사한 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 총 100품목의 시료 가운데 22품목의 시료에서 bifenthrin, chlorpyrifos, dicofol, EPN, chlorfenapyr, tebuconazole, cyhalothrin, difenoconazole 및 tebufenpyrad 등 9종의 농약이 검출되었다. bifenthrin이 1개 품목(검출치: 0.12 ppm, 기준: 0.3 ppm), chlorpyrifos가 3개 품목(검출치: 0.24-0.78 ppm, 기준: 2.0 ppm), dicofol이 2개 품목(검출치: 1.64-4.19 ppm, 기준: 50.0 ppm), EPN이 1개 품목(검출치: 0.13 ppm, 기준: 0.05 ppm), chlorfenapyr가 16개 품목(검출치: 0.01-1.23 ppm, 기준: 3.0 ppm), tebuconazole이 1개 품목(검출치: 0.71 ppm, 기준: 5.0 ppm), cyhalothrin이 5개 품목(검출치: 0.05-0.3 ppm, 기준: 2.0 ppm), difenoconazole이 1개 품목(검출치: 0.23 ppm, 기준: 2.0 ppm), tebufenpyrad가 2개 품목(검출치: 0.06-0.07 ppm, 기준: 2.0 ppm)이었고 이 가운데 2종 이상의 잔류농약이 검출된 것은 7개 품목이었다. 기준치를 초과한 것은 EPN(검출치: 0.13 ppm, 기준: 0.05 ppm) 1종이었고 나머지는 기준치 이하를 보여주었다. 검출 품목의 지역별 분포는 보성산이 5품목, 제주가 14품목이었고, 기타 국내산이 3품목이었다. 검출 품목의 제품유형별 농약 검출수와 종 수는 잎차(leaf green teas)의 경우 우전이 3품목, 1종, 세작이 2품목, 1종, 중작이 3품목, 2종 및 대작이 1품목, 1종이었고 가루녹차(milled green teas)의 경우는 5품목, 6종, 티백(green tea bag)의 경우는 8품목, 6종 이었다. 농약 종 수와 검출율에 있어 가루녹차와 티백이 잎차보다 훨씬 큰 것으로 나타났는바 가루녹차와 티백이 일반 국민이 다소비하는 품목이라는 점에서 중점관리가 필요하다 할 것이다. 녹차에 잔류하는 농약의 잔류수준은 EPN을 제외하고는 비교적 안전한 수준으로 인체에 크게 위협이 되지 않는 수준인 것으로 판단되었다. 검출 농약 중 dicofol과 EPN은 차류의 잔류농약허용기준에 포함되지 않은 농약으로서 향후 관리가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.
