'-DDE). The half-life (mean ± SD) of pp'-DDE was 29.5 ± 22.7 mo. Conclusions: Concentrations of S-DDT/ pp'-DDE in the blood serum of malaria control workers were much higher than levels found in the general population in Brazil and elsewhere. The half-life of pp'-DDE (29.5 mo) estimated for this group of occupationally exposed male adults was shorter than t 1/2 values previously reported for environmentally exposed subjects.
