Spoiler: it's microplastics, pesticides and industrial chemicals. Your ballsack is being filled with industrial waste everyday and you are letting the capitalists get away with it. :sicko-no:

Depending on the instrument involved, "detectable" can be extremely low. They probably meant "unsafe levels"?
The EPA action level for lead is 15 µg/L (parts per billion). By comparison, an ICP-MS can detect lead at 0.0005 µg/L. That's thirty thousand times lower!
theres no safe level of lead tho, afaik
Which is why exposure should be minimized, but total elimination is impossible. It's like ionizing radiation. You will be able to detect lead in even the cleanest sources.
Unsafe was just a descriptor I used for unacceptably high.
Bio-accumulation is a bitch though, does lead bio-accumulate?
