Is there a medical test to show if I've been exposed to heptachlor
and heptachlor epoxide?
Laboratory tests can measure heptachlor and heptachlor epoxide following exposure
to high levels. The blood tests for these chemicals must be done within a short
period after exposure. Levels in fat can be measured for a much longer period
after exposure. If heptachlor or heptachlor epoxide are found in your fat, it
isn't possible to tell exactly when you were exposed to these chemicals or if
harmful health effects will occur.
