Good grief. There is very little data this stuff is harmful. Certainly not going to wipe out a town in a weekend. Can't wait for millennials to age a few more years and hopefully get a little context. Being wedged between baby boomers and millennials gets more uncomfortable by the day.
- EliRivers 10y agoI would suggest that's not the point, old man. The point is that the limits exist, and people have to trust that the rules are being followed because they can't go around testing every drop of water that comes out of their tap, yet the rules are being broken invisibly. If the limits are wrong, sure, lets get them changed. Breaking the law because it's probably harmless doesn't make it acceptable.
- dualogy 10y ago> Certainly not going to wipe out a town in a weekend. Well neither did lead, in the olden days. Not in a weekend, that is. Of course any fear such as it exists (and regardless of how ill-founded or well-founded it may be!) is not about weekend wipe-outs but rather slowly creeping seeping insidious very-long-term poisoning accumulating and unnoticable from day-to-day, until who knows "suddenly" at some point the entire population has at least half a dozen ailments of civilization, new-fangled "syndromes", mitochondrial or neurodegeneration, and depends on dozen of pills..
