It is useful for identifying acute and short-term exposure from sources such as industrial contact, contaminated water, dental materials, or certain seafood. Elevated concentrations can affect the nervous system, kidneys, and immune function. Results help clinicians determine toxicity severity and guide treatment decisions, including chelation therapy. This test is commonly requested for occupational screening or suspected poisoning cases
