A member asked:

If i have had water, food, etc. from plastic containers my whole life, any way to check if there is any toxicity in me due to plastic? blood test or ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not yet: It is possible to test for plasticizers in urine, but i don't think it's been validated. Especially when it pertains to doping testing in sports to look for prior transfusions. Testing is available, but i don't think there is a clinical application yet. Off course, testing is available to evaluate products for permissible plasticizer levels.
