Is there a medical test to determine whether Ive been exposed to diazinon?
The most common test for exposure to diazinon is to determine the level of an enzyme (cholinesterase) in the blood. However, this test indicates only exposure to a pesticide of this type; it does not specifically show exposure to diazinon. In addition, other chemicals and health conditions may alter the levels of this enzyme. There are specific tests to determine the presence of diazinon or its break down products in blood, urine, and body tissues.
