Urinary biomarkers for pyrethroids, chlorpyrifos, and glyphosate.
Biomarker | Metabolite | Parent Pesticide |
---|---|---|
3-PBA | 3-phenoxybenzoic acid | generic metabolite of most pyrethroids, e.g., cypermethrin, deltamethrin, permethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, etofenprox, tau-fluvalinate, esfenvalerate, fenpropathrin, (but not cyfluthrin or bifenthrin) |

cis-DCCA | cis-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid | cis-permethrin, cis-cypermethrin, cyfluthrin |
trans-DCCA | trans-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid | trans-permethrin, trans-cypermethrin, cyfluthrin |
cis-DBCA | cis-3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid | deltamethrin |
CFCA | 3-(-2-Chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-enyl)-2,2- dimethyl-cyclopropane-carboxylic acid | bifenthrin, λ-cyhalothrin and tefluthrin |
TCPy | 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol | chlorpyrifos and chlorpyrifos-methyl |
Gly | glyphosate | glyphosate |
AMPA | aminomethylphosphonic acid | glyphosate, main environmental biodegradation product of glyphosate |
