minus-squareEbby@lemmy.ssba.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·9 days agoAhh, but see you fell for the tricky wordplay. There are safe levels which is a concentration, but not a safe amount which is simply detectable. The EPA tests and regulates safe levels of lead, but there is still no safe amount.
minus-squareClent@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·9 days agoLevel is exposure. Amount is accumulating. There is no safe amount of lead but there is absolutely a safe amount of radiation. Radiation is part of our biology. We are bathed in. To claim there is no safe amount of safe level is wrong. Our biology has no use for lead. People who freak out over radiation will downplay lead.
minus-squareEbby@lemmy.ssba.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 days agoOhh nice rebuttal. Much respect. I considered accumulation more pertaining to levels than detectable but, although it applies to both for some substances, concentration is just a snapshot in time. Wow thanks. I love problems that keep me up at night.
