Aromatic Solvent Metabolites, Urine

This test profile is used to monitor exposure to benzene, ethyl benzene, styrene, toluene, and xylenes.

Aromatic solvent toxicity is characterized by CNS depressant effects (eg, irritation, nausea, dizziness, unconsciousness, etc). Severity is dependent on the intensity and duration of the exposure. Damage to the hematopoietic system has also been evidenced. Benzene is listed as a potential carcinogen. Aromatic solvents are used commercially in numerous applications, including industrial solvents and chemical intermediates. Aromatic solvents, which include benzene, ethyl benzene, styrene, toluene, and xylene, can also be found in paints, paint thinners, and glues. Urine is the preferred specimen for monitoring of occupational exposure to these solvents. Refer to individual tests for additional information.

A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
