Was Your Child Exposed to Drugs?
What Is Passive Exposure?
Passive exposure is when someone is exposed to illicit substances but doesn't ingest or use the drugs themselves. This situation often happens when children live in or visit homes with drugs present. Though someone may not consume drugs themselves, having close exposure could lead to the individual developing detrimental medical conditions or future addictive behaviors. A similarity would be someone being exposed to cigarette smoke even though they themselves don't smoke. Of course, exposure to harmful or illicit drugs can be even more dangerous.
These consequences prove why drug tests for passive exposure are so critical.
How to Tell If a Child Has Been Exposed to Drugs
Consider getting a passive exposure drug test done if you suspect your child was exposed to these substances. Passive exposure drug testing is an accurate and comprehensive way to determine if people have been in environments with illegal drugs.
At Test Smartly Labs, we offer hair follicle drug tests and surface residue testing to help you discern if your family member was exposed to drugs. The tests use collected samples to test for various drugs that an individual could have been exposed to, such as THC, cocaine, opiates, benzodiazepines, oxycodone and several more.
What is an Environmental Surface Residue Drug Test?
The science-focused method to test for the presence of drugs in your home, workplace, or wherever your child may go. The on-site test focuses on detection to identify surface drug residue. Samples are taken from various surfaces at one’s home, workplace, or wherever. Whether or not illicit drugs are present in the environment can be determined by this test. Test Smartly Labs will take a minimum of 4 separate samples from various surfaces to detect illicit drugs. This is a comprehensive lab-based analysis so the samples are sent to the lab for evaluation and results. These tests are primarily used in child endangerment, child custody, and real estate sales situations. There are significant issues in selling real estate if the lab was once a “Meth House” or other drug-related issues.

How it Works
The method used by Test Smartly Labs surface drug residue testing technicians is quite simple and does not take a lot of time. They will arrive at your home or other allowed location, take at least four different samples from places where your child stays, carefully packages the samples to make sure there is no outside influence or contamination, and then tests them for illicit drugs.
If you chose the “Child Guard” passive exposure hair test, there is no need to cause undue stress in your child by demanding a urine or blood test at a medical center to get to the truth of the matter. If they are already exposed to less-than-ideal environments or situations with people who do not have their best interest at heart, the last thing you want to do is cause them more stress with invasive testing procedures.
What If The Passive Exposure Drug Test Is Positive?
If the drug test is positive, it means that it’s highly likely:
- Someone was around or near smoke or drugs
- Someone directly inhaled smoke
- Someone had direct contact with someone who’s using drugs – their sweat or the oils on their skin
- Someone touched someone with drugs on them, like bongs for example
- Someone accidentally ate or took in drugs
