Formed in 1691 in the Virginia Colony, Norfolk County had originally included essentially all the area which became the towns and later cities of Norfolk, Portsmouth, and South Norfolk. Its area was reduced after 1871 as these cities added territory through annexations. Becoming an independent city was a method for the former county to stabilize borders with neighbors, as cities could not annex territory from each other.

Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Screening categories, known as drug testing panels, are typically 5-panel, 10-panel, or 12-panel tests, indicating the number of drugs screened. Customized screening is also offered.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test is a scientific examination of a biological specimen—such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or oral fluid—to identify the presence or absence of specific drugs or their byproducts. Key uses include detecting performance-enhancing drugs in sports, screening for illegal substances by employers or probation officers, and police testing for alcohol with BAC (blood alcohol content). Although administred tests vary in method, accuracy, and detection windows, urine analysis is most widely used in workplaces and sports.

Effect of Passive Exposure on Marijuana Tests

Passive exposure to marijuana smoke, such as being in proximity to smokers, is insufficient to produce a positive drug test because lab thresholds for detection are set above levels affecting passive inhalers. Anomalies in test results could indicate tampering. For instance:

  • A low creatinine level might suggest dilution either through excessive fluid intake before testing or the addition of water to the sample.
  • Creatinine measurements, alongside specific gravity tests, help verify sample integrity; laboratories may dye toilet water blue to prevent tampering.
  • Manipulating samples by adding enzymes can influence stability but often alters pH, which is also measured in tests.

Duration of Drug Presence in the Body

The detection period of drugs varies based on several factors:

  • Dosage of drugs taken
  • Frequency of consumption
  • Specific drug used
  • An individual's metabolic rate and health
  • Fluid intake post-consumption
  • Physical activity post-consumption
  • Genetic variations affecting drug metabolism
