Measures lead in your blood, the standard test for recent lead exposure. Most people in the US have very low levels.

Mercury, Blood
Total mercury in whole blood, which mostly reflects methylmercury from fish and shellfish and any recent exposure.

Measures arsenic in your blood right now. It reflects very recent exposure, because arsenic leaves the blood quickly.
