This monitoring study was investigated to collect data on pesticide residue levels in domestic current agricultural products of Korea. 87 kinds of pesticide upon these products were analyzed using simultaneous multi component analytical method of Korean Food Standards Codex, and 300 samples of 26 agricultural products collected from 9 regions were supplied for this study. For the validation of this method, the items of recoveries, linearity and limited of quantitation (LOQ) were analyzed. Most pesticides were recovered in the range of 60~130% with relative standard deviation generally less than 10%. Linearity and LOQ values were 0.9900 and 4 ~ 20ng/mL, respectively. In the results, pesticide residues were detected in 15 samples, Acetamiprid and Azoxystrobin of them were shown a high frequency of detection in the analyzed pesticides. The levels of the detected pesticide residues in agricultural samples were not exceed the maximum residue limits (MRLs). The results mean that the detected pesticides were in a safe level, and the pesticide residues on the current agricultural products in Korea are properly controlled.
