      None of this conversation has been about occupational exposure. Check up the thread it's about levels in drinking water

      Which relate also to NOEL in humans who are continually exposed. Why have guidelines and levels, which are continually being lowered, if people like you then say are irrelevant. I assume you can provide all of your peer reviewed literature to support your hypothesis?

      ...I mean, the entire point is that there's no observed adverse effects in humans from continual minimal exposure. Only in very high occupational exposure. And the calculated NOEL based on animal models is hundreds of times above double the DoH reference range

      According to the EPA it is. Check up the thread

      Look at the latest literature. Anyway, I’ll keep advocating and fighting for the victims of these insidious chemicals, who never chose to be continually exposed and you can keep advocating for whoever it is you’re advocating for. Have a great day.

      Lol. The EPA calculations were done in 2016. If you've got anything more recent happy to take a look

      Also check out the submissions to the Australian Federal Govt expert panel on PFOS from 2018

      You mean the 2017 Italian ecological study that specifically and explicitly says that it's not evidence of a causal link? Or the other two sources that use the EPA reference RfD or similar? I mean...it seems that they agree with my argument

      I’ll tell you what, you start giving your kids water laced with PFAS at the same levels as what’s been detected in Bundaberg’s drinking water, and in 5 years time I’ll ask you again if you still have the same lack of concern

      Every child in Australia is likely drinking similar levels of PFAS this is actually explicitly recognized in the 2018 consultation panel so...sure? I guess?

          As for the asbestos argument: do an epidemiology course and get back to me. A single ecological study that concludes "need more research to establish a casual link" does not a fulsome argument makepic.twitter.com/z2XQkhW7Hd

          We’ll come and visit the 1 firefighter recruit course from Fiskville where 9 out of 14 recruits all had children with severe birth defects, then ask them about your lack of concern. Back to your next groundbreaking, money making thesis.

          Bullshit, 70ppt is the current Australian Drinking water guideline. And as an epidemiologist I’d expect more from you, instead I get “likely drinking similar levels.” I’ve actually had the Melbourne drinking independently tested and every sample showed below 70ppt

          Eh, I'm being glib. Somewhat like certain asbestos cracks 😉 Let's agree to disagree on whether "double the reference range" is a health emergency, because clearly we aren't reading the same evidence
