About Heavy Metal Lab Test | Arsenic, Lead & Mercury in Manteca
Heavy metal testing measures the concentration of specific metals circulating in the bloodstream.
Arsenic is found in soil, water, and some industrial materials. Chronic exposure may affect the skin, nervous system, and other organs, so blood arsenic levels can help assess recent or ongoing exposure.
Lead exposure can occur through older paint, contaminated water, certain occupations, and some imported products. Lead can affect the nervous system, blood cells, and kidneys, and testing is often used when exposure is suspected.
Mercury exposure is commonly associated with certain fish, dental amalgam, and industrial settings. Blood mercury reflects recent exposure, and elevated levels may prompt further evaluation of symptoms and exposure sources.
