Applied science video about lead in regular tap water and poisoning

(1/4) > >>

strawberry:
why fear of poisonous stuff sometimes is irrational ?

Bryn:
For some reason, this reminds me of some April Fool's joke where a DJ exclaimed that there's lead in tap water (or something like it, my mind's fuzzy about that)...

Interesting video though.

gnuarm:
Sorry, I got about 7 minutes in and was falling asleep.  Can anyone give me the Cliff's Notes version? 

Heck, I used to be a chemist, too!

Same here, way to dilute the point. Pun shamelessly intended.

bw2341:
Lead bad. Is lead crystal bad?

(clever use of dithizone to quantitatively measure trace amounts of lead)

Lead crystal could be safe if you periodically soak in it 0.5% acetic acid.

The title of this thread is misleading.
