Apparently tests within 48 hours of exposure are ideal. In my case I was not tested till about 5 years after retirement, but many constituents of jet engine oil were found to be at unacceptable levels. In particular benzine and its derivatives and toluene. In my case organophosphates were at acceptable levels, I think that these are normally found soon after a “fume event”.
I had the tests done at
Biolab under the advice of a doctor, who viewed the results and set out a regime to achieve acceptable levels.
