How does the test for benzene exposure work?

Testing for benzene

One test for benzene exposure depends on substances called metabolites. In the body, benzene is converted to metabolites. Certain metabolites can be measured in the urine. However, this test must be done shortly after exposure and is not a reliable indicator of how much benzene you have been exposed to, since the metabolites may be present in urine from other sources.
