How much does it cost for a person to be tested for pollutants?
The cost of testing for pollutants in a person varies by the number and type of substances being tested for; prices also vary by laboratory. For example, testing for a panel of metals can cost under $100, while testing for pesticides or PBDEs can cost hundreds of dollars. For Environmental Defence’s study on the pollution in Canadian families it cost over $2000 CAD per person to test for 68 chemicals.
