The name Troy (after the legendary city of Troy, made famous in Homer's Iliad) was adopted in 1789 before which it had been known as Ashley's Ferry, and the region was formed into the Town of Troy in 1791 from part of the Manor of Rensselaerswyck. The township included Brunswick and Grafton. Troy became a village in 1801 and was chartered as a city in 1816. In 1900, the city of Lansingburgh was merged into Troy. In the post-Revolutionary War years, as central New York was first settled, there was a strong trend to classical names, and Troy's naming fits the same pattern as the New York cities of Syracuse, Rome, Utica, Ithaca, or the towns of Sempronius, Manlius, or dozens of other classically named towns to the west of Troy.

Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

A drug test panel indicates the number of drugs screened, with common panels including 5, 10, and 12 options, although custom screenings are also available.

Understanding Drug Tests

Drug tests examine biological samples such as urine, hair, blood, and saliva to detect specific drugs or their metabolites. Common applications include performance-enhancing drug detection in sports, employer screenings, and parole or probation screenings by legal authorities.

Blood alcohol content (BAC), a measure of alcohol concentration, is often tested using a breathalyzer, while urinalysis is predominant in workplace and sporting environments. There are numerous other methods with varying accuracy and sensitivity. Drug tests may also provide quantitative assessments intended for responsible usage guidance.

Does Second-Hand Marijuana Smoke Cause Positive Results?

Exposure to marijuana smoke ("passive" inhalation) in a room with smokers is unlikely to yield a positive result as testing thresholds are well above what's attainable through passive inhalation.

Result abnormalities could suggest false negatives or tampering, for instance:

  • Low creatinine levels might indicate tampering, either through overhydration prior to testing or water added to samples.
  • Creatinine levels, combined with specific gravity, can ascertain dilution. Testing labs may color restroom water to prevent dilution using toilet water.
  • Subjects might try to stabilize samples using enzymes, though this can alter the pH, which is also tested.

Drug Presence Duration in Systems

The detection window or look-back period for a drug test can vary based on numerous factors, such as:

  • Quantity consumed
  • Consumption frequency
  • Drug type
  • Individual's metabolic rate and health
  • Fluids ingested after consumption
  • Exercise following drug intake
  • Genetic factors influencing drug metabolism

Local Area Info: Troy, New York

Troy is a city in the U.S. state of New York and the seat of Rensselaer County. The city is located on the western edge of Rensselaer County and on the eastern bank of the Hudson River. Troy has close ties to the nearby cities of Albany and Schenectady, forming a region popularly called the Capital District. The city is one of the three major centers for the Albany Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), which has a population of 1,170,483. At the 2010 census, the population of Troy was 50,129. Troy's motto is Ilium fuit. Troja est, which means "Ilium was, Troy is".

Today, Troy is home to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the oldest private engineering and technical university in the US, founded in 1824. Due to the confluence of major waterways and a geography that supported water power, the American industrial revolution took hold in this area making Troy reputedly the fourth wealthiest city in America around the turn of the 20th century. Troy, therefore, is noted for a wealth of Victorian architecture downtown and elaborate private homes in various neighborhoods. Several churches boast a concentrated collection of stained glass windows by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Troy is also home to the world renowned "Troy Music Hall", officially, the "Troy Savings Bank Music Hall" dating from the 1870s, which is said to have superb acoustics in a combination of restored and well preserved performance space.

The area had long been occupied by the Mahican Indian tribe, but Dutch settlement began in the mid 17th century. The patroon Kiliaen van Rensselaer called the region Pafraets Dael, after his mother. The Dutch colony was conquered by the English in 1664, and in 1707 Derick Van der Heyden purchased a farm near today's downtown area. In 1771, Abraham Lansing had his farm in today's Lansingburgh laid out into lots. Sixteen years later, Van der Heyden's grandson Jacob had his extensive holdings surveyed and laid out into lots, naming the new village Vanderheyden.
