Our finding of increased prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism after I exposure is in agreement with earlier observations (Larsen et al. 1982) but not later ones (Takahashi et al. 1999) in Marshall Islanders exposed to I at doses from 1.35 to 3.35 Gy as a consequence of nuclear weapons testing.

Other important factors such as potential of harm as a consequence of the test (in our case, possible exposure to unnecessary procedures to treat a small pneumothorax or exposure to ionizing radiation), physician's perception and confidence in test results, as well as the ability to make treatment decisions based on test results were not addressed in our study [ 25].
Moreover, alterations in the proportions of cell types, as a consequence of exposure to test compounds, should be detectable by DNA microarrays (DMA), as shown earlier for other systems (Schmidt et al. 2008, 2012).
While there is little data available measuring this as a consequence of workplace drug testing, there is "anecdotal evidence that increased testing has led to employees and job seekers using drugs that have a shorter detection time, but are more harmful," the report says.
