The exposure of council and forestry workers to 2,4,5‐T, a plant poison, has been monitored for a period of two years. It was found that the excessive urine levels of 2,4,5‐T fell dramatically once the exposure was minimized. Therefore, the use of protective clothing and adoption of measures to prevent inhalation exposure are essential.
