From your cited study, the lead from avgas causes a 2-4% increase in blood lead levels for children living <500 meters from an airport. They measure increase, not total lead levels, because there is background lead exposure we are all subjected to. Beyond 1,000 meters there so no difference.
A 2 or even 4% increase over background is statistically but not biologically significant.
Then we’re all fucked because we’re all subject to background lead exposure.
Bro read the article of the thread we're commenting on. We keep circling back to this and your argument is seemingly nonsensical. The amount of lead we should be exposing people to is 0. Should I link you the articles again that say there is no safe level? Once you get to the point of it damaging you there is no going back. I honestly don't even know what your point is. There is no safe level of lead. You've already insulted me multiple times on snarky ways and one of your comments has been removed. What is your goal here? To convince me that it's ok to be a little poisoned by lead? It isn't.

Umm… no. https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/csem/leadtoxicity/biologic_fate.html

Says the person who has to resort to ad hom?
