Pyrethroids are a class of the most commonly used insecticides. The urinary metabolites are usually used as biomarkers of pyrethroid exposures in humans. In this study, the temporal variability of urinary pyrethroid biomarkers was investigated among 114 Chinese young-aged adults who provided up to 4∼11 urine samples over one year. The detection rates of four urinary pyrethroid biomarkers, 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3PBA), 4-fluoro-3-phenoxybenzoic acid (4F-3PBA), trans-2,2-(dichloro)-2-dimethylvinylcyclopropane carboxylic acid (trans-DCCA) and cis-2,2-(dichloro)-2-dimethylvinylcyclopropane carboxylic acid (cis-DCCA) were 100%, 8%, 69% and 44%, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) estimates for 3PBA indicated poor reproducibility (<0.15) in the spot urine samples of young-aged adults over a week, month and year. Log-transformed 3PBA used the least number of random spot urine samples (≥4) per person, which would provide a reliable biomarker estimate (ICC≥0.40) over a year. As the predictors of the top 33% yearly average 3PBA concentrations, the sensitivity and specificity of 3PBA ranged from 0.25 to 0.89, 0.58 to 0.96, respectively. Based on the results of this study, we recommend at least 4 urine samples collected 3 months apart for prospective assessment of pyrethroid exposure in the epidemiological studies to estimate exposure-response relationships between pyrethroids and health outcomes with relative long-term exposure periods.
