What are Environmental Toxicants?
Environmental toxicants are substances present in the environment that threaten the health of all living organisms. Whether natural or human-made, these substances infiltrate through industrial activities, pollution, agriculture, and waste disposal.
The TOXDetect profile is design to help identify exposure to environmental toxicants and guide a targeted prevention and treatment plan. MosaicDx’s enhanced TOXDetect test report provides results in an easily comprehensible format, empowering consumers with the essential insights and actionable clinical utility for informed decision making.
What are Environmental Toxins?
Exposure to environmental toxicants, whether absorbed, inhaled, or ingested, has been associated with various health issues. Despite the staggering 2000% increase in plastic production from 15 million to 311 million tons between 1964 and 2014, and the annual disease cost burden of $340 billion from endocrine disrupting chemicals, the majority of chemicals remain unassessed for human impact. With over 80,000 chemicals registered in the U.S. under the Toxic Substances Control Act and thousands more introduced annually, it’s essential to identify exposures and mitigate their health impacts through testing.
