수도용 제초제 molinate에 대하여 벼 재배환경에서 휘산양상과 공기 중 고추에 대한 약해증상 및 발현 농도설정 시험을 수행한 결과 물 중 휘산양상은 $35^{circ}C$, 20 L/min에서 47시간 후의 누적 휘산비가 22.7%였고, $25^{circ}C$, 10 L/min에서는 3.2%로 7배 이상이 차이를 보였다. 벼 재배 포장에 150 g/1,000 $m^2$의 약량으로 살포된 molinate의 공기 중 농도는 지면으로부터 60 cm 높이에서 곡간지와 평야지는 각각 18.17과 11.59 ${mu}g/m^2$ 수준으로 살포 당일에 최고 휘산량을 보였고, 처리 후 20일에는 $0.18{sim}0.51{mu}g/m^3$로 95% 이상이 감소되었으며, 두 지역 모두 휘산 양상은 비슷하였다. 높이 간의 공기 중 molinate 농도는 지표면으로부터 60 cm 높이에서 180 cm높이 보다 2배 이상이 분포되었다. 한편 인근에 재배되고 있는 고추 신엽에서 엽록소가 파괴되면서 잎 표면이 오므라드는 증상이 약제 살포 3일만에 발생하였으며, 약해가 심하게 나타난 잎의 molinate 잔류량은 $0.004{sim}0.006$ mg/kg 수준으로 검출되었다. 공기 중 molinate에 의한 고추 생육저해는 $6.8{mu}g/m^3$ 농도에서는 노출 3일째에 약해가 발현되어 4일째는 약해 증상이 심하게 나타났고, $13.6{mu}g/m^3$ 농도에서는 노출 2일째에 발현되었다. 한편 수경재배에 의한 고추약해는 물 중 $300{mu}g/L$ 농도에서 10일 후에 약해가 발현되었다. 약해고추의 회복은 신선한 공기가 공급되었을 때 시일이 경과되면서 약해 받은 잎은 고사되어 없어지고 신엽이 새로 발생되어 4주 후에 정상고추와 비슷한 생장을 하였다.
To evaluate the exposure of molinate in agricultural environment and its effect against the non-target crop in air, this experiment was conducted to elucidate volatilization characteristics of molinate in aquatic condition and to determine critical concentration of molinate in the air causing phytotoxicity to Chili pepper. Cumulative volatilized rate of molinate from water was 22.7% at $35^{circ}C$ for water temperature and 20 L/min for air velocity while 3.2% at $25^{circ}C$ and 10 L/min within 47 hour after applied under closed system, respectively. The molinate concentrations in air above 60 cm height from soil surface of valley and open paddy rice field were reached the highest value of 18.17 and $11.59{mu}g/m^3$, respectively within 24 hours after applying granular formulation at dose rate of molinate 150 g/1,000 $m^2$. However, their concentrations were drastically diminished to around 0.18 and $0.51{mu}g/m^3$ level in 20 days after application, which volatilization pattern were similar to both regions. Also, the concentration of molinate in air above 60 cm height from soil surface was distributed higher 2 times than that above 180 cm height. Meanwhile, a phytotoxic symptom against the nearby chili pepper was revealed within three days after applied and molinate was detected $0.004{sim}0.006$ mg/kg level from severe damaged leaves. The dose and exposure relations of molinate in the air against the non-target crop was also investigated in lab trial. The phytotoxic symptom, shriveled leaves, of the chili pepper was encountered by exposing two days with concentration of $13.6{mu}g/m^3$, three days with $6.8{mu}g/m^3$ or four days with $3.4{mu}g/m^3$. The symptom was still recovered within four weeks after the plants had received fresh air. On the other hand, the phytotoxic response through root uptake of the herbicide in water culture was relatively insensitive, in which the symptom is observed ten days with the concentration of 300 ${mu}g/L$.
