Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates pesticide residues in herbal products used in traditional Korean medicine, analyzing 40 samples from 10 dispensaries.
  • It utilized advanced detection methods (LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS) to test for 320 different pesticides, finding only low levels of carbendazim in some samples.
  • The findings suggest that the detected pesticide levels in these herbal decoctions are not significant enough to pose a serious health risk to consumers.

In this study, we investigated whether the levels of sulfur dioxide (SO), benzopyrene, and mycotoxins in herbal decoctions in Korea in 2019 were within normal limits. In total, 30 decoctions composed of multi-ingredient traditional herbs were sampled from traditional Korean medicine (TKM) clinics, TKM hospitals, and external herbal dispensaries in 2019. The decoctions were analyzed for SO, benzopyrene, and mycotoxins using 10 samples.

In this study, we investigated whether the levels of heavy metal and pesticide residues in herbal decoctions in Korea in 2019 were within normal limits. In total, 30 decoctions composed of multi-ingredient traditional herbs were sampled from traditional Korean medicine (TKM) clinics, TKM hospitals, and external herbal dispensaries in 2019. The decoctions were analyzed for heavy metal content such as lead, arsenic, and cadmium using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry.
