The urinary excretion of 3,4-dimethylhippuric acid (34DMHA), a 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene (124TMB) metabolite, was investigated in workers exposed to 124TMB vapor. The time-weighted average of exposure to 124TMB was determined with a diffusive sampler. For biological monitoring of exposure, urine samples were collected from individual workers and analyzed for metabolites by high-pressure liquid chromatography. The concentration of urinary 34DMHA had a positive correlation with the level of exposure to 124TMB (r = 0.72). The data suggest that 34DMHA is one of the useful indicators for biological monitoring of 124TMB exposure.
