IANARS either, but testing for various known or likely causes of toxicity [or other harms] is generally a good thing to do with an unidentified object, regardless of how likely it is that test comes back positive. if it was toxic, and nobody had bothered to test it because there were barnacles on it, that'd be pretty dumb.
