ABSTRACT
Ethylenebisdithiorcabamate (EBDC) fungicides are broken down metabolically and in the environment to ethylenethiourea (ETU), a suspected carcinogen. Urinary ETU was assayed in control groups and subjects occupationaly exposed to EBDC and was found to be an excellent indicator of exposure both to ETU and EBDC. Correct use of protective clothing greatly reduced exposure and urinary excretion of ETU. ETU was excreted, albeit in low concentrations, in a high percentage (91% and 30%) of subjects in both control groups, demonstrating its utility as an indicator of widespread EBDC contamination.
