Riverview was founded in 1885 on the Alafia River's north shore. However, in the 1830s settlers arrived on the south side of the river at an area formerly known as "Peru" (pronounced "Pe-Roo") because Peru was an indigenous name for "straight part of the river". Peru existed for nearly 100 years and was one of the oldest settlements in central Florida. It wasn't until the 1940s that Riverview absorbed Peru, and now claims the south side of the Alafia River. The Peruvian Mining Company, which mined phosphate from the Alafia, took its name from the settlement. The term "Alafia" is translated as "River of Fire" due to the phosphorus on the early riverbottom glowing at night.

What Drug Testing Panel Suits Your Needs?

Testing options often referred to as panels—such as 5, 10, or 12 panel tests—indicate the number of substances being analyzed. Customizable options are available as well.

Explanation of a Drug Test

A drug test technically examines a biological specimen, for instance, urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva, to detect specific drugs or their byproducts. Applications range from identifying steroid use in sports to legal and employment settings for detecting banned substances. Police often use breathalyzers for BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) analysis. Numerous testing methods vary in accuracy, sensitivity, and detection timeframes. Some tests quantify the presence of illicit drugs, aiding responsible consumption.

Can Passive Smoke Inhalation Cause a False Positive for Marijuana?

Exposure to marijuana smoke passively does not cause a false positive, as laboratory cut-off levels are higher than exposure from passive inhalation.

Other anomalies during urine screening might indicate false negatives or attempts at sample tampering:

  • Low creatinine can suggest dilution, either from excess fluid intake or water addition.
  • Creatinine levels, combined with specific gravity, help identify samples diluted by toilet water misapplication, which testing labs counter by coloring the toilet water.
  • Enzyme addition to alter sample stability may shift pH levels, also examined during testing.

Drug Retention: How Long Do Substances Remain Detectable?

The look-back period of a drug test depends on various factors:

  • Drug dosage and frequency
  • Type of drug
  • Individual metabolism and health
  • Fluid and exercise levels post-consumption
  • Genetic variables affecting drug response

Local Area Info: Riverview, Florida

Riverview is an unincorporated census-designated place in Hillsborough County, Florida, United States. It is located south of Brandon. The population was 71,050 in the 2010 census, up from 12,035 in the 2000 census.

Riverview was founded in 1885 on the Alafia River's north shore. However, in the 1830s settlers arrived on the south side of the river at an area formerly known as "Peru" (pronounced "Pe-Roo") because Peru was an indigenous name for "straight part of the river". Peru existed for nearly 100 years and was one of the oldest settlements in central Florida. It wasn't until the 1940s that Riverview absorbed Peru, and now claims the south side of the Alafia River. The Peruvian Mining Company, which mined phosphate from the Alafia, took its name from the settlement. The term "Alafia" is translated as "River of Fire" due to the phosphorus on the early riverbottom glowing at night.

The area's first school was built in 1893, inside the Peru Baptist Church. The area called Riverview began to be populated on the north side of the river. The two communities were connected by a river ferry. Soon after, a bridge was constructed from sections of a bridge that once spanned the Hillsborough River in downtown Tampa. The post office periodically was moved from the Riverview side to the Peru side of the river and back, causing much tension. The Riverview name eventually came into usage in the early 1940s by the post office to relieve just such confusion with the mail. Peru has disappeared from all but the earliest maps. Some of Peru's or Riverview's settlers include the Barnes, Bourgees, Boyettes, Brandons, Buzbees, Hackneys, Hancocks, Hartleys, Mansfields, Moodys, Simmons, Scotts, Symmes, Topes, Thompsons, Whitts, and the Yeomans. The area founded by the Boyette family is now the community of Boyette, located in the eastern part of the Riverview CDP.
