We did an investigation about the safety of the main imported farm products which circulate in Tottori. The investigation period was three years from 1999 to 2001. The main import vegetables which circulate in the prefecture, import fruit, import grains and import pea class were inspected for residue-prone agricultural chemicals. 60 items were target farm products for testing. We analyzed 7 substances of organic chlorine system agricultural chemicals. (They are 17 substances when an isomer is included.) These pesticides are doubted as Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs). As a result of the test, pesticide was detected on farm products in 21 of the 60 samples. All these were less than a standard value of residue-prone agricultural chemical. Therefore, in the present stage, it can be said that safety is secured. In addition, influence of man on endocrine disrupting chemicals is not clarified now.
