I mean, quite provocative.

Should be followed up on for sure.

Just getting to you, you're a physician and epidemiologist, you know, MD, MPH, and you have spent your career on this sort of thing, right?

I mean, is your middle name like lead or, you know, what do you work on all the time?

Absolutely.

I think your point, just to make sure that it's clear, is that even at low levels, this is a course where most of the population exposure would be, and that's why that's so incriminating.

Now, one of the things I just want to end up with is that we know that these are tiny, tiny particles of lead.

And then the question is,

how they can synergize and find particulate matter of air pollution in the nanoplastic, microplastic story and binding to forever chemicals, PFAS.

How do you process all that?

Because it's not just a single hit here.

It's also the fact that there's ability to have...

binding to the other environmental toxins that are not going away.

That's right.

Yeah.

And interestingly, just yesterday, it was announced by the current administration that they're stopping all the prior efforts on the forever chemicals that were initiated in the water supply.

And I mean, if there's one takeaway from our discussion, it's that we have to get all over this and we're not paying enough attention to our environmental exposures

You've really highlighted, spotlighted the lead story.

And obviously there are others that are, instead of getting somewhat better, they're actually going in the opposite direction.

And they're all tied together.
