Increasing exposure to environmental toxins is linked to a wide range of chronic health conditions, including autism spectrum disorders, autoimmune diseases, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Traditionally, multiple tests were needed to detect each individual pollutant — but now, the Environmental Pollutant Panel makes it possible to assess a broad range of exposures with a single test. This unique panel measures key pollutants such as benzene, xylene, toluene, trimethylbenzene, styrene, and phthalates, helping identify toxicity from sources like air, food, and everyday environmental contact.
These markers reflect exposure to industrial solvents such as xylene, toluene, benzene, and styrene, which are commonly found in paints, fuels, plastics, and cleaning agents. Elevated levels may indicate environmental or occupational exposure, poor air quality, or reduced detoxification capacity. Minimising use of chemical-based household products and supporting liver detoxification may help reduce this toxic load.
This urine test measures:
2-Methylhippuric Acid is marker for exposure to xylene, a common environmental toxin found in industrial solvents, paints and adhesives.
Another xylene breakdown product, often found alongside 2-methylhippuric acid. High levels may reflect exposure from industrial settings, car exhaust, or cigarette smoke.
Hippurate reflects how your body processes benzoic acid, which can come from both gut bacteria and food preservatives. Elevated levels may be due to a diet high in processed foods or gut microbial imbalance.
Benzoate is commonly used as a food preservative and can also result from environmental chemical exposure. High levels may indicate high intake or impaired detoxification.
This is a key marker for benzene exposure, a known toxic chemical found in fuel, plastics, and cigarette smoke. Elevated levels can reflect environmental or occupational benzene contact.
This metabolite may reflect toluene exposure, often found in glues, paints, and cleaning agents. Elevated levels can indicate poor air quality exposure or solvent contact.
Mandelate is another solvent metabolite, linked to styrene exposure (used in plastics and rubber). Raised levels can occur in people with occupational exposure or poor detox capacity.
This is a byproduct of the same pathway as mandelate and also linked to styrene or ethylbenzene exposure. Elevated levels may suggest increased chemical burden.
Together, these provide a clearer picture of styrene or ethylbenzene exposure. Elevated combined levels may warrant reducing contact with plastics, resins, or industrial fumes.
This panel looks at your exposure to phthalates, which are chemicals commonly found in plastics, fragrances, and personal care products. Phthalates have been linked to hormone disruption and other health effects with long-term exposure. Choosing fragrance-free and phthalate-free products and avoiding plastic food containers can help reduce your exposure.
This urine test measures:
This is a breakdown product of phthalates, chemicals used in plastics, personal care products, and fragrances. High levels may suggest frequent exposure to these everyday items.
Phthalic acid is another marker of plastic and phthalate exposure, reflecting widespread contact through packaging, cosmetics, and household products. Consistently high levels may indicate the need to reduce plastic use and support detoxification.
This panel reflects your body’s exposure to parabens, which are preservatives found in many cosmetics, lotions, and personal care products. Parabens can act like hormones in the body and may interfere with natural hormone balance. Reducing your use of products with synthetic preservatives may help lower exposure and support hormonal health.
This urine test measures:
Para-Hydroxybenzoate is a product of microbial fermentation, associated with gut bacterial overactivity. Elevated levels may indicate poor gut health or toxin build up.
Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide commonly found in non-organic produce, grains, and water sources. Detection in urine suggests recent dietary or environmental exposure, and elevated levels may impact gut health and cellular function. Choosing organic foods and filtered water can help reduce glyphosate intake and support overall wellbeing.
This urine test measures:
Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide found in non-organic foods and water. Detection in urine suggests exposure through diet or environment, and may be linked to gut and metabolic health effects.
This panel reflects how environmental pollutants may be affecting your brain chemistry, mood, and metabolic balance. Markers like HVA and 5HIAA provide insight into dopamine and serotonin activity, which are closely tied to mood, stress, and nervous system function.
This urine test measures:
This is a breakdown product of dopamine, a brain chemical that supports mood, focus, and motivation. Abnormal levels may reflect changes in dopamine activity or nervous system stress.
This is a breakdown product of serotonin, a key neurotransmitter for mood and sleep. Elevated or low levels may indicate imbalances in serotonin metabolism or gut health.
This ratio shows the balance between dopamine and serotonin breakdown. An imbalance may suggest shifts in stress response, mood regulation, or nervous system activity. Research has showed that increased exposure to urban-type pollution increases levels of HVA and decreases 5-HIAA.
This compound is linked to inflammation and stress in the brain and nervous system. High levels may be a sign of oxidative stress or immune activation from environmental or internal triggers.
Your test kit and all instructions are posted directly to you, and there is no need to visit a collection centre.
Results for this test typically available in 2 weeks and will be published in your online dashboard.
