chemical exposure testing

Chemical exposure testing assesses whether someone has been exposed to certain chemicals and if so, how much. This usually involves analyzing biological samples like blood, urine, or saliva to detect the presence and levels of specific chemicals or their byproducts. The results help determine if exposure occurred, its timing, and potential health risks. This testing is essential for identifying occupational, environmental, or accidental exposures, guiding medical treatment, and informing safety measures. It provides a scientific basis for understanding exposure impact and ensuring appropriate health responses.
