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.

There are several reasons or circumstances that can lead to the necessity of a drug test.
Prescription Drug Abuse: Signs, Symptoms and Statistics
Prescription drug abuse implies taking prescription medication was not given to you by the doctor, or taking your prescription medication in a manner that differs from the instructions. While taking prescription medication is not perceived as equivalent to taking illegal street drugs, the consequences can be equally harsh.
Environmental Surface Testing (Passive Exposure)
Any suspicion that your family members have been exposed to drugs sparks fear in the minds of parents and guardians. No matter how closely you monitor where they go or who they interact with, you can never be completely sure without a reliable and scientific environmental drug residue test that can find out the truth.
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.
What is “Child Guard” Passive Exposure Hair Drug Test?
“Child Guard” Hair Passive Exposure testing can useful in detecting passive exposure to illicit drugs, even being touched by a drug user can give a positive test result. These “Passive Exposure Child Hair Drug Tests” are frequently done in the case of child custody or child endangerment situations and when determining child neglect and other problems. The environmental surface testing can be used in conjunction with the “Child Guard” Hair Passive Exposure testing to check not only the child but also the drugs that are in the child’s environment. Child Guard is a simple Hair residue drug test that is non-invasive for your child.
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.

The MRO will then call your physician to verify your medications.

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
