>>1791968>and the recommendation wasn't just "don't eat anything you grow here" but "don't disturb the soil at all"Strange how they didn't recommend he turf over it, if it's such a hazard.
>"Lead does not biodegrade, or disappear over time, but remains in soils for thousands of years."Notice no mention of dispersion and the fatuous reference to "disappearing". Easiest way to avoid answering a question is not to ask it in the first place, and the easiest way to conceal an unasked question is with a big scary number. "thousands of years", oh no, THOUSANDS OF YEARS, that's a long time, a really long time. What relevance does this have for people's health? I'm not sure, but THOUSANDS-OF-YEARS.
By the way, the lead exposure rate for children is about 5 per million aged 0-15. Virtually all from sources which are already outlawed.
The radiation from Fukushima likewise didn't "biodegrade, or disappear over (relative) time", but the radiation levels in fish stocks are down...how could that be? Hmm, it's a tough one that.
Maybe it's because the radioactive isotopes are THOUSANDS OF YEARSing it on the ocean floor, deeper than anything we eat goes.
