Environmental Toxins

Through testing blood or urine, the individual systemic toxic exposure can be monitored quantitatively. Human Biomonitoring of organic toxic substances and their metabolites is used to determine the degree of acute and past exposures.

To assess past exposures, we take into account the half-life of toxic substances. Those with a long half-life such as certain pesticides or the polychlorinated biphenoles can be detected years after exposure.

We test insecticides, bactericides, wood preservatives and chemical solvents.
