July 9, 2010, Newsletter Issue #77: Testing for benzene
Tip of the Week
There are tests for exposure to benzene, however, they are only useful for determining short-term exposures. Several tests can show if you have been exposed to benzene. There is a test for measuring benzene in the breath; this test must be done shortly after exposure. Benzene can also be measured in the blood. Again, however, measurements are accurate only for recent exposures since benzene disappears rapidly from the blood.
