Fipronil, as an emerging phenylpyrazole insecticide, is ubiquitous in the environment and food due to its broad spectrum persistent characteristics, but research on pathways of human exposure fipronil associated health risk relatively unclear. In this regard, we summarize potential exposures through ingestion inhalation, well results biomonitoring studies. This scientific information will contribute future assessment subsequent characterization risks. Additionally, Perspective highlights lack epidemiological studies total diet for general population fipronil.
