Organic Acids Test Environmental Pollutants

Are you toxic from the environment or workplace?

The organic acids test is a simple urine test that looks at biomarkers from various metabolic pathways. Since we are exposed to multiple chemicals which may have a combination effect (e.g. additive, synergistic) associated with low-level exposures to multiple classes of contaminants, which may impact a variety of organ systems. Sources of contamination of pollutants may be found in our diet, air pollution, or smoking.

The organic acid environmental pollutant panel is a significant test in clinical practice. It is evident that increasing exposure to environmental pollutants has been linked to many chronic diseases such as autism spectrum disorders, autoimmune disorders, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Usually, many different individual tests are necessary to determine each pollutant. However, the environmental pollutant panel makes it possible in one single test to measure the degree of toxicity to pollutants in the environment, whether it be in the air, what we consume or what we are exposed to. This unique test measures the environmental pollutants which assesses exposure to benzene, xylene, toluene, trimethylbenzene, styrene and phthalate.

Common Symptoms of Environmental Pollutants Imbalances

Metabolic disorders involving environmental pollutants can vary greatly, this is because the environmental pollutants can interfere with the normal metabolic processes that keep us healthy and these pollutants can also cause severe disease leading to death, here are some of the more common symptoms associated with environmental pollutants:

Skin and Dermatological Health
- Allergies
Cardiovascular Health
- Cardiovascular Disease
Other Health Conditions
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Endocrine related cancers
- Fibromyalgia
- Neurological conditions
Reproductive Health
- Female fertility issues
Autoimmune and Immune System
- Impaired immune system
Respiratory Health
- Sinus congestion
Endocrine and Hormonal Health
- Thyroid dysfunction

About The Organic Acids Environmental Pollutants Test

The organic acid environmental pollutant test is a significant test when it comes to toxicity, it is evident that increasing exposure to environmental pollutants has been linked to many chronic diseases such as autism spectrum disorders, autoimmune disorders, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Usually, many different individual tests are necessary to determine each pollutant. However, the environmental pollutant test makes it possible in one single test to measure the degree of toxicity to pollutants in the environment, whether it be in the air, what we consume or what we are exposed to. This unique test measures the environmental pollutants which assesses exposure the following:

Benzene
Xylene
Toluene
Trimethylbenzene
Styrene
Phthalate

Many of these toxic substances are commonly found in the air, our water supply and in the food we eat, toxic levels can build up in the body causing many different types of illnesses and disease, taking this test helps discover toxic levels so a specific detoxification treatment can be provided.
