Some special laboratories are equipped to accurately measure arsenic in urine. The total arsenic in urine reflects both the arsenic from food intake and from water or other sources. Special tests can separate the two so that a measure of non-food arsenic can be obtained. The results cannot predict whether there will be a health effect, but it is one method to determine a persons relative internal exposure to arsenic.
