The study group consisted of 30 pest control operators exposed to cyfluthrin, cypermethrin or permethrin. After exposure, 24-h urine samples were collected and 20 ml of blood was drawn. The pyrethroid metabolites cis- and trans-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethy lcyclopropanecarboxylic acid, 3-phenoxybenzoic acid and fluorophenoxybenzoic acid were determined in the urine samples (limit of detection: 0.5 μg/l) by GC MS and the pyrethroids in plasma (limit of detection: 5 μg/l) by GC-ECD. The concentrations of metabolites in the urine of the pest control operators ranged between
