도시림, 생활림, 가로수, 도시공원 등 국민들의 일상생활을 하는 구역이나 장소에 위치한 생활권 수목 식재지에서의 농약 살포는 농약 살포자의 농약 노출 문제뿐만 아니라 농약의 살포 후 생활권 수목과 접촉하는 불특정 시민들도 지속적인 농약 노출이 문제가 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 생활권 수목의 관리를 위해 관행적으로 가장 많이 사용 살포되는 살충제인 Fenitrothion을 회양목에 살포하고 일정시간별로 손 노출량, 잎 잔류량, 호흡 노출량을 측정 한 뒤, 위해성 평가 수식(MOS; margin of safety)을 이용하여 체중별 안전 노출시간을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 살포된 Fenitrothion의 손을 통한 전이량이 급격하게 떨어지고 호흡노출량이 측정되지 않는 48시간 이전 까지는 농약노출에 대한 주의가 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.

This study investigated the decomposition of fenitrothion in Smithion, which is applied on the golf course for pesticide, by the integrated Zero-valent iron(ZVI) and Granular activated carbon(GAC) process. First, the removal efficiencies of the fenitrothion by ZVI and GAC, respectively, were investigated. Second, the removal efficiencies of the fenitrothion by the integrated ZVI and GAC were investigated. The removal efficiencies of fenitrothion by ZVI were higher than those of TOC. The removal efficiencies of fenitrothion and TOC by GAC were similar. As the dosages of ZVI and GAC were increased, the removal efficiencies of fenitrothion and TOC increased. However, as the dosages of ZVI for pretreatment were increased, the adsorptions of fenitrothion on GAC were hindered.

A phytoremediation study has been conducted to see if some known aquatic plants can remove the pesticides, endosulfan-α, β and fenitrothion which are frequently used in the crop protection and golf course management, and are likely to exist as residual pollutants in the aquatic ecosystems. Among the five aquatic plants tested in the microcosms, water lily Nymphaea tetragona Georgi showed the highest degradation efficacies (85~95%) for the three pesticides as opposed to the control(13~26%). The efficacies for the other plants were in the range of 46~80% in the order of Pistia stratiotes, Cyperus helferi, Eichhornia crassipes, and Iris pseudoacorus. Fenitrothion, an organo-phosphorus pesticide, was much more vulnerable to the phytoremediation than the organo-chlorine pesticides, endosulfan-α and endosulfan-β. The kinetic rate constants (min-1) for removal of the three pesticides were more than 10 times higher than the control (non-planting) in case of Nymphaea tetragona Georgi. This aquatic plant showed kinetic rate constants about 2 times as much as the lower kinetic rate constants shown by Iris pseudoacorus. The reason for the highest degradation efficacy of water lily would be that the plant can live in the sediment and possess roots and broad leaves which could absorb or accumulate and degrade more pollutants in association with microbes. These results indicate that some of the selected aquatic plants planted near the agricultural lands and wetlands could contribute to remediation of pesticides present in these places, and could be applicable to protection of the aquatic ecosystems.

남부 해안 지방 해송에 심각한 피해를 주는 솔껍질깍지벌레(Matsucoccus thunbergianae)는 2령충 시기인 3월경에 Buprofezin을 항공 또는 지상살포하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 처리 시기의 조절을 통한 효율적 방제를 위해 솔껍질깍지벌레 2령충, 번데기, 성충의 각 발육단계별에 대한 Fenitrothion 유제 (50%)의 살충활성을 spray법으로 검정하였다. 암컷 2령충에 Fenitrothion 500ppm을 처리하였을 때 탈피저해율은 84.0%, 250ppm에서는 81.4%로, 대조약제로 Buprofezin 액상수화제 (40%) 4000ppm을 처리했을 때 탈피저해율인 28.7%, 무처리구의 15.4%보다 높았고, 암컷 성충에 Fenitrothion 500ppm, 50ppm 처리했을 때 산란율은 각각 1.0%, 23.3%로, Buprofezin 65.7%, 무처리 82.9%의 산란율보다 높은 산란억제율을 보였다. 한편, 수컷은 2령충과 번데기에 Fenitrothion 500ppm을 처리했을 때 각각 0%, 6.4%의 우화율을, Buprofezin 4000ppm처리시 각각 0.6%, 23.0%의 우화율을 나타내어 무처리에서의 62.7%와 94.5% 우화율보다 높은 우화억제율을 보였다.

Organophosphate pesticides have their inhibitory action on the chorinesterase. It is likely that application of organophosphate pesticides invoke retardation in activity as well as death of arthropods. This study is aimed to find changes in foraging activity of ants due to application of fenitrothion, one of most widely used organophosphate pesticides. Foraging activity (FA) of ants was observed by using bait cards at pesticide sprayed pine stand and unsprayed stand before and after aerial application of fenitrothion in 2003 and 2004. FA of Paratrechina flavipes which was too abundant to be statistically compared, significantly decreased from 2 hours to 10 days after application of the pesticide but recovered at 16 day in 2003 and partially recovered at 18 day and completely at 31 day in 2004. FA of other ant species also significantly decreased during the retardation period of FA of P. flavipes. Ratio of ants feeding on baits significantly decreased during the retardation period of FA. However, decrease of interspecific inhibition on feeding action, which was expected for negligence on other ants caused by the chorinesterase inhibition was not observed.

Gryon japonicum (Ashmead), an egg parasitoid of Riptortus clavatus (Thunberg) is an economically important pest of various crops. As a conservational biological control, non-viable refrigerated eggs of R. clavatus were released to enhance parasitism by the parasitoid in soybean field. Since fenitrothion is an insecticide broadly used against R. clavatus, we investigated the effect of fenitrothion on the parasitization of refrigerated host eggs by G. japonicum. The acute toxicity of fenitrothion was compared with seven pesticides by topical application, exposure to residue, and oral ingestion. Fenitrothion, spinosad, cyfluthrin, carbosulfan and thiamithoxam caused 100% mortality within 24 hours by topical application. Fenitrothion was also highly toxic to G. japonicum when ingested orally. In sublethal effects of fenitrothion on G. japonicum in refrigerated and fresh host eggs, adult emergence of G. japonicum decreased by 12% and 34%, respectively, compared to control when the fenitrothion was applied on 8th day after parasitization. Parasitism on refrigerated eggs after a day of fenitrothion spray was higher as compared to the fresh eggs. However, parasitism on both refrigerated and fresh eggs significantly reduced when the parasitoids were provided with the fenitrothion sprayed eggs after an hour. In conclusion, there is no negative effect of fenitrothion on the parasitization by G. japonicum.

Yumenoshima III 집파리 계통을 ethyl fenitrothion으로 30세대 도태시킨 EF-30 계통에 있어서의 parathion 저항성 메카니즘을 생화학적으로 조사하였다. 아세틸콜린에스테라제 저해활성은 저항성계통과 감수성 SRS 계통간에 커다란 차이를 보여 이 효소의 감수성 저하가 저항성의 주료 메카니즘으로 작용하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 양 계통에 있어서의 parathion과 paraoxon의 in vitro 분해활성은 미크로좀 및 수용성 분획과 관련이 있으며, 각각 NADPH와 glutathione을 필요로 하였다. 저항성계통은 감수성계통에 비하여 GSH S-transferase 활성이 높아 이 효소가 저항성 메카니즘에 중요한 역할을 하고 있는 것으로 추정되었다. 저항성계통은 parathion에 대하여 101,487배, ethyl parathion에 대하여 25,914배의 저항성비를 나타내어 parathion이 GSH S-transferase의 기질로 작용하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로부터 EF-30 계통에 있어서의 저항성 메카니즘에는 수종의 요인이 관여하여 parathion에 대하여 높은 저항성을 나타냄을 알 수 있었으나, 이들 요인이외에 타 요인의 관여를 배제할 수 없었다.

저항성유기인계농약인 fenitrothion 유제를 8개품종이 수도체에 살포시용하고, 부착 및 침투된 주성분의 경시적변화와 곡위중의 집적잔류량을 GLC로 분석, 검토한 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) FTD/GLC에 있어서 Silicone DC-200 column으로 nano-gram 이하까지 fenitrothion 주성분의 검출이 가능한 조작조건을 밝혔다. 2) 출수전의 수도체에 fenitrothion을 반당 20l의 농산로 살포한 바, 전엽에 평균 15.32ppm이 부착, 24시간후에 1.67ppm(약 )이 잔존하였고, 살포 24시간후의 침투량은 6.75ppm()으로, 24 시간경과후 2.61ppm(이 잔존하고 그후의 감소는 완만하며, 침투분의 잔존율이 높았다. 3) 엽신과 엽초별 침투량은 엽신이 월등히 높았으나 잔존율은 비등하였고, 침투 3일이내에 급격한 감소(약)를 보이고, 그 후는 완만한 감소로 10일후에는 약 의 잔존율을 유지하였다. 4) 곡위중의 fenitrothion 잔류량은 왕겨에 0.02-0.05ppm(평균 0.04ppm), 현미에 0.01 ppm-0.02ppm(평균 trace)수준으로 왕겨중함량의 약 해당하며, WHO/FAO의 권고잔류허용량 (과채류는 0.1-0.5 ppm, 곡류는 미설정)에 훨씬 미달되는 수치였다.
