Aromatic Solvent Toxin Profile

This aromatic solvent profile tests for levels of exposure to benzene, ethyl benzene, styrene, toluene, and xylenes.  Aromatic solvents are commonly found in paints, paint thinners, and glues.

The aromatic solvent metabolites urine test specifically includes the following measurements:

• Creatinine, Urine
• Mandelic Acid, Urine
• Mandelic Acid: Creatinine Ratio
• Methylhippuric Acids, Total, Urine
• Methylhippuric Acids:Creatinine Ratio
• O-Cresol:Creatinine Ratio
• O-Cresol, Urine
• Phenol (Free And Conjugated), Urine
• Phenol:Creatinine Ratio

Aromatic solvents are commonly used in commercial applications such as industrial solvents and chemical intermediates. Toxic levels of exposure to aromatic solvents is characterized by depressant effects to the central nervous system including irritation, nausea, dizziness, and unconsciousness.
