Since the early 20th century, the section of unincorporated Charleston County that later became the city of North Charleston had been designated by Charleston business and community leaders as a place for development of industry, military and other business sites. The first industry started in this area was the E.P. Burton Lumber Company. In 1901, the Charleston Naval Shipyard was established with agreements between the federal government and local Charleston city leaders. Shortly thereafter, the General Asbestos and Rubber Company (GARCO) built the world's largest asbestos mill under one roof.

Selecting the Appropriate Drug Testing Panel

Drug test panels refer to screening groups. Common ones include 5, 10, and 12-panel tests, though custom options are available.

Definition of a Drug Test

Drug tests assess biological samples like urine or hair to detect specific drugs or their metabolites. They're used to identify performance-enhancing substances in sports and monitor legal compliance for employers and law enforcement. Accurate measures, such as BAC via breathalyzers, support drug assessments.

Marijuana and Passive Smoke Inhalation

Passive exposure to marijuana smoke isn’t typically considered a valid cause for a positive result, as laboratory thresholds are set above such passive effect levels.

Other abnormalities, like low creatinine levels, might suggest issues like sample tampering or excessive water intake before testing.

  • Low creatinine may imply tampering or dilution, via ingestion or water addition.
  • Creatinine and specific gravity measurements determine sample dilution. Facilities may color toilet water to prevent sample manipulation.
  • Additives altering pH or incorporating enzymes affect sample integrity and are detectable.

Drug Retention in the System

Detection periods, or look-back windows, depend on factors like drug type, consumption frequency, body metabolism, fluid intake, and genetic factors influencing drug response.

Local Area Info: North Charleston, South Carolina

North Charleston is the third-largest city in the U.S. state of South Carolina, with incorporated areas in Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties. On June 12, 1972, the city of North Charleston was incorporated and was rated as the ninth-largest city in South Carolina. As of the 2010 Census, North Charleston had a population of 97,471, growing to an estimated population of 108,304 in 2015, and with a current area of more than 76.6 square miles (198.5 km2). As defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, for use by the U.S. Census Bureau and other U.S. Government agencies for statistical purposes only, North Charleston is included within the Charleston–North Charleston–Summerville metropolitan area and the Charleston-North Charleston urban area. North Charleston is one of the state's major industrial centers and is the state's top city in gross retail sales.

The large plantations were subdivided into smaller farms in the late 19th century as the urban population began moving northward. Due to the large labor forces of enslaved African Americans who worked these properties for over two centuries, the population of Charleston County in 1870 was 73 percent black; however, they were freedmen by this time. After the Civil War, phosphate fertilizer plants were developed, with extensive strip mining occurring between the Ashley River and Broad Path (Meeting Street Road). The main route for transportation of these phosphates eventually became known as Ashley Phosphate Road.

Since the early 20th century, the section of unincorporated Charleston County that later became the city of North Charleston had been designated by Charleston business and community leaders as a place for development of industry, military and other business sites. The first industry started in this area was the E.P. Burton Lumber Company. In 1901, the Charleston Naval Shipyard was established with agreements between the federal government and local Charleston city leaders. Shortly thereafter, the General Asbestos and Rubber Company (GARCO) built the world's largest asbestos mill under one roof.
