Additional testing performed by MDH Public Health Laboratory
• Blood metals( three analytes). This method for cadmium, lead and mercury testing has been used in four studies for a total of approximately 2000 specimens.
• Mercuryindriedbloodspots( oneanalyte). Developed for the pilot project, Mercury in Newborns in the Lake Superior Basin( 1465 specimens), this method has been applied to two other studies( an additional 648 specimens).
• Toxic elements in urine( 15 analytes). Used for MDH’ s emergency response program, and used to measure arsenic in 65 urine specimens.
• Speciated arsenic in urine( five species). Developed to characterize arsenic speciation in 15 urine samples to determine dietary or non-dietary sourcing.
• Mercury in urine( one analyte). Being used to measure mercury in urine samples to determine the inorganic mercury exposure in a population of 600 pregnant women.
• Environmental phenols in urine( six analytes). Two methods have been used to measure triclosan, bisphenol A, and parabens in urine samples in two studies( 533 samples).
• Fatty acids in plasma( 18 analytes). Validated for two studies where mercury was also measured, the goal was to relate both fatty acids and mercury to fish consumption. 1139 biospecimens have been measured.
• Hydroxypyrene in urine( one analyte). A method for hydroxypyrene in urine was validated as a marker of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon( PAH) exposure for a community near a PAH superfund site. 442 biospecimens were measured.
