We measured 12 analytes in urine of 1000 adults living in the United States to establish reference range concentrations for pesticide residues. We frequently found six of these analytes: 2,5-dichlorophenol (in 98% of adults); 2,4-dichlorophenol (in 64%); 1-naphthol (in 86%); 2-naphthol (in 81%); 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (in 82%); and pentachlorophenol (in 64%). The 95th percentile concentration (95thPC) for 2,5-dichlorophenol (indicative of p-dichlorobenzene exposure) was 790 mu g/liter; concentrations ranged up to 8700 mu g/liter. 2,4-Dichlorophenol concentrations ranged up to 450 mu g/liter, and the 95thPC was 64 mu g/liter. 1-Naphthol and a-naphthol (indicative of naphthalene exposure) had 95thPCs of 43 and 30 mu g/liter, respectively; concentrations of l-naphthol ranged up to 2500 mu g/liter. Chlorpyrifos exposure was indicated by 3,5,6-tricholoro-2-pyridinol concentrations of 13 (95thPC) and 77 mu g/liter (maximum observed). Pentachlorophenol had a 95thPC of 8.2 mu g/liter. Other analytes measured included 4-nitrophenol (in 41%); 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (in 20%); 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (in 9.5%); 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (in 12%); 2-isopropoxyphenol (in 6.8%); and 7-carbofuranphenol (in 1.5%). The 95thPCs of these analytes were
