Mercury Testing

Mercury testing involves measuring the amount of mercury in a person's body, usually through blood, urine, or hair samples. This helps determine if someone has been exposed to excessive mercury, which can be harmful. The testing is often used in occupational health, environmental exposure assessments, or for people who suspect mercury poisoning. Results guide healthcare providers in diagnosing and managing potential health effects, and in making decisions about exposure risks and necessary interventions.
