Trace Element Test (Heavy Metals & Minerals)

Exposure to chemicals is not limited to working in the chemical industry or living near an industrial facility. We are exposed to enormous number of chemicals and pollutants sourcing from the ­vestiges of eating, drinking, breathing and touching the processed products. People start to worry what ‘else’ I have consumed after a series of food safety scandals had broken.
