A member asked:
Like to ask how do to know if the amount of carcinogen in my child's body is high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can't: There is no test that determines how much carcinogen your child is exposed to. Avoiding cigarette smoke, fast food, and obvious chemical exposures will remove most of the risk of carcinogen exposure. Worry less about testing and more about healthy living and you'll be fine.
