七十九年度市售蔬菜農殘量調查

SURVEY OF PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN VEGETABLES

由於臺灣地處亞熱帶，氣候高溫多濕，作物栽培密集，致使農作物病蟲害較其他地區為嚴重，因而影響作物之產量、品質、生產成本、外銷及消費意願，為減輕損失，農民施用農藥以防治農作物之病蟲害，是目前最為經濟便捷的方法。農藥既是用來防除病蟲害，多少都具有某一程度之毒性，雖具有消退性，若農民不按規範來使用，如增加使用量、提早採收農作物等，則會導致蔬菜中殘留農藥問題，成為社會各界所關注詬病的焦點。本局為了解市售蔬果殘留農藥之情形，曾於民國76年11月至77年10月利用多重殘留分析法並配合有機硫礦劑之檢驗法，進行四十五種農藥殘量檢驗，經回收試驗結果顯示多重殘留分析法適用範圍廣，敏感度高，適合作為蔬菜農藥殘留檢驗方法。

The pesticide residues in 1300 vegetable samples was analyzed by multiresidue method from July, 1989 to June, 1990 in Taiwan. The results showed that 437 of 1300 samples (33.6%) were found to contain pesticide residues and 25 of 437 samples (1.9%) were in violation. The incidence of pesticide residues varied with different kinds of samples, the highest incidence was leaf vegetables, the following were cole & headed vegetables, melon vegetables, fruit vegetables, root vegetables, the highest violative percentages was miscellaneous grain crops (18.2%).
