Based on: the EPA regulates doses not the FDA, there are no human studies for these chemicals at all (the amounts are based on rats and mice), the dose isn't a "safe dose" it's a "reference dose", and a standard human is exposed to a few hundred nanograms of these chemicals normally in a day while cooking with these introduces tens of thousands of nanograms per day. So, baseline, one day of using black cookware exposes you to a years worth of baseline exposure. Every day. That's why I consider it high. These are known bioaccumulating carcinogenic compounds. I can reduce my baseline by over 99% by spending $10 on a new spatula? Yeah, that's high.
