Abstract

This study was performed in order to assess the risk of korean orchard worker due to pesticide exposure. The amount of pesticide exposure was calculated based on the informations of 97 kind of items that are used the form of a spraying in Korean orchard. The risks of these pesticides were assessed to compare the exposure amount with AOEL (acceptable operator exposure level) which was released form developed countries. When the operator sprayed pesticides using speed sprayer, 74.2% of pesticide items showed the risk for operator if the operator have not worn the personal protective equipment (PPE), and 42.3% of pesticide items showed the risk for operator if the operator have worn the PPE. In case of using motor sprayer, 64.1% of pesticide items showed the risk for operator if the operator have not worn the PPE, and 19.4% of pesticide items showed the risk for operator if the operator have worn the PPE. This result was indicated that the risk of pesticide against the operator was very high in korean orchard operator.

본 연구는 우리나라 과수 농약살포자의 농약 노출량 산정과 위해성 평가를 위하여 수행되었다. 우리나라 과수에 사용되고 있는 약제 중 분무의 형태로 이용되는 97종의 품목에 대하여 사용방법에 대한 정보를 수집하였고, 이를 근거로 농약 노출량을 국내실정에 맞게 변형한 UK-POEM(United Kingdom-Predicted Operator Exposure Model)모델을 이용하여 산정하였다. 산정된 노출량을 세계 각 기관에서 발표된 농약살포자 노출허용량과 비교하여 위해성을 평가하였다. Speed sprayer (SS기)를 이용하여 살포작업을 하는 경우 개인보호장비(PPE)를 착용하지 않았을 때 74.2%, 개인 보호장비를 착용하였을 때 42.3%가 위해성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 동력분무기(MS기)를 이용하였을 경우 개인보호장비(PPE)를 착용하지 않았을 때 64.1%, 개인 보호장비를 착용하였을 때 19.4%가 위해성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 현재 우리나라 과수 농약살포자의 농약 노출로 인한 위해성이 우려된다는 것을 의미한다.
