Specimens for ddt testing
BIOLOGICAL SPECIMENS:
Whole Blood/Plasma/Serum Urine Semen Human Milk Adipose Tissue/Skin Lipids/Blubber* Muscle Feces Liver/Kidney/Lymph [*Blubber is a very thick fat,] |
PRECAUTIONS:
|
Since DDT mostly resides in the fatty areas of the human body, most analyses are preferably performed on adipose tissue, milk fat, or a lipid extract of serum or other material. The most frequently used sampling techniques though utilize samples of blood, urine, and semen because these specimens are easy to collect.
