Is there a medical test to show whether Ive been exposed to ethylbenzene?
Ethylbenzene is found in the blood, urine, breath, and some body tissues of exposed people. The most common way to test for ethylbenzene is in the urine. This test measures substances formed by the breakdown of ethylbenzene. Because these substances leave the body very quickly, this test needs to be done within a few hours after exposure occurs. These tests can show you were exposed to ethylbenzene, but cannot predict the kind of health effects that might occur.
