The test and LabAssist™ Interpretive Report
You can gain valuable information about the overall status of the levels of environmental & petrochemical solvents in your body by measuring the excretion capacity of these toxins. This is especially important for women and men who want to conceive. This test should be done at least 4 months prior to conception in order to allow enough time to detox before getting pregnant.
Who should use this test?
Anyone with fatigue, compromised immune system, irritability, inflammation, convultions, infertility, pre-pregnancy, skin and eye irritation, and for anyone working in or exposed to an industrial setting (nail salons, print shops, dry cleaners, etc) or living in a polluted enviromnent.

Testing for environmental pollutants?
Chronic exposures to a number of occupational and environmental pollutants are a growing concern in today’s industrialized communities. These pollutants have profound effects on human health. Many have been linked to a variety of pathologies including neurological problems, anemias, and certain cancers.
What pollutants will the test reveal?
Xylene. A common petrochemical solvent. It is widely used in paint, resins, lacquers, varnishes, inks, dyes, adhesives, rubber products, motor oil, degreasers, and cleaning fluids. You can also find it in perfumes, insect repellents, castor oil, linseed oil, and in the rubber, printing, and leather industries.
Toluene. The highest concentrations of toluene usually occur in indoor air at home and in the workplace, from the use of common household products (paint, paint thinners, adhesives, and even nail polish) and cigarette smoke. Automobile emissions are the principal source of toluene in the outside air.
Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon that is produced by the burning of natural products. It is a component of products derived from coal and petroleum and is found in gasoline and other fuels. Benzene is used in the manufacturing of plastics, detergents, pesticides, and other chemicals.
Trimethylbenzene is used as solvents and intermediates (byproducts) for chemical synthesis, in the manufacturing of paint thinners, perfumes, dyes, and as motor fuel additive.
Styrene is one of those toxins that seem to be everywhere. It is a byproduct of automobile exhaust, so high-traffic areas create the highest exposure problems. Because it is found in so many products, from building materials to consumer products to some tobacco smoke, it works its way into air, water, and soil.
Phthalic Acid Esters are used in the manufacturing of plastics. They are found in everything from makeup to detergents, shampoos to time released pharmaceutical drugs.
Parabens are a widely used family of preservatives found in many cosmetic, skin care, pharmaceutical, and industrial products.
