Is there a medical test to show if Ive been exposed to heptachlor and heptachlor epoxide?
Laboratory tests can measure heptachlor and heptachlor epoxide following exposure to high levels. The blood tests for these chemicals must be done within a short period after exposure. Levels in fat can be measured for a much longer period after exposure. If heptachlor or heptachlor epoxide are found in your fat, it isn’t possible to tell exactly when you were exposed to these chemicals or if harmful health effects will occur.
