Summary

This study measured levels of dimethoate (a pesticide), bisphenol A (a plasticizer), and benzo[a]pyrene (a combustion byproduct) in the urine of first-year university students in Southwest China. Students from different regions showed different chemical exposure levels, and obesity was linked to higher concentrations of some toxicants.
