I have question..sorry for the lack of comment but maybe somebody could check the math on these two and give a definitive answer so I could intelligently compare the two.

This is the level of lead found in the game in this article which talks about lead in wild game.

Quote:
1.27 micrograms per deciliter, compared with 0.84 for those who ate no game

This is from the EPA online site that talks about the action levels of contaminates in drinking water

http://www.epa.gov/safewater/contaminants/index.html#8


Quote:
For copper, the action level is 1.3 mg/L, and for lead it is 0.015 mg/L.
So how does that translate to micrograms and deciliters for the EPA figure?

If I do this right that would translate to 15,000 micrograms in one liter of water?????????????? Been a long time folks.

Please feel free to correct me if I did not do it right.

For you chemists/math folks/engineers out there I know we have some smart guys on here how does that compare to the lead in game.
