Abstract/Contents:"This study aims to investigate the kinds and levels of pesticides used in Korean golf courses and to present measures against the accompanying health risks. Pesticides were found to be applied mainly to the green and at higher concentrations compared to the fairway. The amount of pesticides used for greens was 4.8 times that of pesticides used for farmfields. At each golf course, pesticides for fruit trees such as chlorothalonil, dicofol and captan were used without prudence. Golfers often complain of headache, nausea, chilling and dizziness. The pesticide use in golf courses should be strictly controlled with particular aims of environmental preservation."
