Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the relations between the exposure level of organophosphates (OPs) pesticide and application factors among rural farmers. The urinary dialkylphosphates, metabolites of organophosphorus pesticides, including DMP, DEP, DMTP and DETP were analyzed by GC/MSD and GC/MS/MS. The DMP and DMTP were detected more in the use of a speed sprayer without cap than with a capped one. Also, the less farmers wore the personal protective equipment (PPE), the more these were detected. The amount of organophosphorus exposure was the highest in the use of a power sprayer. However, it was low when a farmer applied pesticides with a speed sprayer with cap and wore more PPE. In this study, the detection rate was analyzed by chi-square test, the exposure level of OPs was analyzed by a generalized linear model.

본 연구는 국내 일부 농업인을 대상으로 유기인계 농약 노출수준과 농약살포 특성의 관련성을 규명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 소변시료를 채취하여 GC/MSD와 GC/MS/MS를 이용하여 분석하였으며, 소변 중 DMP, DMTP, DEP, DETP를 대상으로 검출률 및 노출수준을 평가 하였다. 검출률은 DMP, DMTP에서 캡이 없는 SS살포기가 캡이 있는 SS살포기보다 높았고, 보호구 착용률이 낮을수록 높았다. 노출수준은 동력 분무기가 가장 높았고, 캡이 있는 SS살포기에서 낮게 나타났다. 또한, 착용 보호구 개수가 증가할수록 노출수준이 낮아짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 검출률은 카이제곱, 노출수준 비교는 연령 및 살포방법을 보정한 GLM을 이용하여 분석하였다.
