Denton incorporated in 1866; its first mayor was J.B. Sawyer. As the city expanded beyond its original boundaries (which extended half of a mile in every direction from center of the public square), it became an agricultural trade center for the mill and cottage industries. The arrival of the Texas and Pacific Railway in 1881 gave Denton its first rail connection and brought an influx of people to the area. North Texas Normal College, now the University of North Texas, was established in 1890, and the Girls' Industrial College, now Texas Woman's University, was founded in 1903. As the universities increased in size, their impact on Denton's economy and culture increased. A middle-class African-American community, Quakertown, thrived just south of what is now Texas Woman's University until around 1920.

Identifying Your Suitable Drug Testing Panel

Understanding a Drug Test

A drug test is a technical analysis of a biological specimen (like urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva) to detect specified drugs or their metabolites. Significant uses include detecting performance-enhancing drugs in sports, screening by employers or parole/probation officers for illicit substances, and testing for blood alcohol content (BAC) by police. The BAC is usually measured via a breathalyzer, whereas urine tests are extensively used in sports and workplaces. Various methods with differing accuracy, sensitivity, and detection periods exist. A drug test may also provide quantitative analysis of illegal drugs to assist with responsible use.

Can Passive Smoke Inhalation Cause a Marijuana False Positive?

Passive marijuana smoke exposure is not considered valid in drug tests, as lab cut-off levels are considerably higher than what passive exposure would produce.

Other irregularities in urine screens can signal potential false negatives or deliberate sample adulteration. For instance:

  • A low creatinine value may indicate tampering, such as excessive water intake before testing or water added to the sample.
  • Creatinine levels and specific gravity are often used to detect dilution. To prevent sample adulteration, labs may color toilet water blue.
  • Subjects might add enzymes to alter sample stability, which can affect pH levels, also tested.

How Long Do Drugs Remain in Your System?

The detection window for drug tests varies based on several factors, including:

  • Drug quantity consumed
  • Frequency of drug use
  • Type of drug
  • Individual metabolic rate and health
  • Fluid intake since drug use
  • Physical activity after drug use
  • Genetic differences affecting drug metabolism

Local Area Info: Denton, Texas

Denton is a city in and the county seat of Denton County, Texas, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, its population was 113,383, making it the 27th-most populous city in Texas, the 200th-most populous city in the United States, and the 12th-most populous city in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.

A Texas land grant led to the formation of Denton County in 1846, and the city was incorporated in 1866. Both were named after pioneer and Texas militia captain John B. Denton. The arrival of a railroad line in the city in 1881 spurred population, and the establishment of the University of North Texas in 1890 and Texas Woman's University in 1901 distinguished the city from neighboring regions. After the construction of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport finished in 1974, the city had more rapid growth; as of 2011, Denton was the seventh-fastest growing city with a population over 100,000 in the country.

Located on the far north end of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex in North Texas on Interstate 35, Denton is known for its active music life; the North Texas State Fair and Rodeo, Denton Arts and Jazz Festival, and 35 Denton Music Festival attract over 300,000 people to the city each year. The city experiences hot, humid summers and relatively few extreme weather events. Its diverse citizenry is represented by a nonpartisan city council, and numerous county and state departments have offices in the city. With over 45,000 students enrolled at the two universities located within its city limits, Denton is often characterized as a college town. As a result of the universities' growth, educational services play a large role in the city's economy. Residents are served by the Denton County Transportation Authority, which provides commuter rail and bus service to the area.
