How much is “a month’s worth” and how does that amount related to known toxicity levels?
I mean, water naturally contains toxins like arsenic and lead. We don’t fret when it’s present (its present in most water) but only when the amounts cause toxicity.
- iancmceachern 3y agoYes. Along many fishing shorelines there are signs posted that tell you how many of each type of fish you can eat per week, depending if you are a man, woman, depending on age range. Each state publishes them. Here is the one for Minnesota for example: https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/fish/index.html https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/fish/...

So I'm not sure how you could make a statement like "Eating a fish meal out of the Mississippi in Minnesota (by 3M) will give you a month's worth of PFOS if you were just drinking contaminated tap water."
