      Adults.

AB  - Humans are exposed to the environmental pollutants 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) 
      and 2,5-dichlorophenol (2,5-DCP) through air, the use of water and the 
      consumption of products. In this study, we evaluated the urinary concentrations 
      of these compounds in Korean people between the ages of 18 to 69 years, by making 
      use of data from the Korean National Human Biomonitoring Survey that was 
      completed in 2009. Of 1865 representative Koreans, 63.4% and 97.9% were found to 
      have concentrations of 2,4-DCP and 2,5-DCP > 0.05 mug/L (limit of detection) in 
      their urine, respectively. The geometric mean of urinary concentrations was 0.14 
      mug/L (confidence interval of 95% = 0.13-0.16) and 0.44 mug/L (confidence interval 
      = 0.41-0.48), respectively. It was found that the adjusted proportional changes 
      in 2,4-DCP concentrations were significantly associated with body mass index, 
      whereas those of 2,5-DCP concentrations were influenced by place of residence. 
      From these findings, it is evident that most adults in Korea have levels of 
      2,4-DCP and 2,5-DCP that are detectable in their urine and the burden of these 
      compounds on their bodies varies depending on numerous demographic factors.
