Description
Comprehensive Environmental Toxin Profile
A comprehensive urine test for environmental toxicants, covering both heavy metals and various organic chemical exposures.
What does this test measure?
This profile looks for metabolites of common pollutants:
- Phthalate metabolites (from plastics)
- Parabens (from cosmetics)
- VOC metabolites like phenylglyceric acids (from benzene, toluene)
- Organophosphate pesticide metabolites
- Heavy metals
By detecting these substances or their breakdown products in urine, the test reveals what toxins the body has recently encountered and is eliminating.
Who is this test most suitable for?
- Individuals with high chemical exposure in work/home (e.g. construction, nail salon, agriculture)
- People living in polluted urban areas
- Those who eat non-organic foods heavily (pesticide exposure)
- Patients on “detox” regimens wanting to document toxin elimination
Clinical Use
This test is used for patients with unexplained chronic symptoms, such as persistent fatigue, autoimmune flare-ups, or cognitive issues, when environmental toxicity is suspected. If high levels of certain phthalates or solvents are found, recommendations may include reducing plastic use and avoiding specific environmental sources. It also supports detoxification in the liver and kidneys. Overall, it serves as a “toxicity check” to guide detox protocols and identify chemical sensitivity, as some patients may show a higher toxic burden.
