ok if I am reading the summary correctly
that study suggests that you should not be exposed to more the 5 PARTS PER BILLION on avg for a 40 hour work week and no more then 25ppBILLION during a 15 minute time frame for DA
it says ap is a synonym for this 2,3-Pentanedione and that exposur eshould be below 9.3ppBILLION on avg for a 40 hour work week and 31ppBILLION during a 15 minute stretch.
so let me do some handy dandy math
That means the ECTF numbers are significantly higher then the cdc's numbers and not by a little but by a lot.
the ECTF's cutoff is .0001%
while the cdc is using .000000005% for da and .0000000093 for ap
so who is right?
and this study by the CDC was done for workplace inhalation of particles not vaporized particles being inhaled in a vape could the safe numbers for one be significantly different then the other safe number.
TY to shazam for pointing out this report to me.
while I am still clueless as to what is too much, i think it is clear not everyone agrees on the numbers.
I can see that it is possible 5 pawns definition of safe levels of DA and AP are just different then others. I mean chocolate bars contain bugs and other nasty stuff, just as long as theres not too much they don't have to include that as an ingredient. So until there is a universally accepted amount determined for juice, maybe we should hold off on out right bashing them
I mean by the ectf standards on 5 pawns results 6 out of the 11 were fine
1 was just barely over
1 is ridiculously high
and the rest were just mildly high
If we were to apply the CDC standard now none of that would be acceptable and would be considered extremely high even the DA amounts
Now with the major difference between the CDC and ECTF recommendations it is quite possible the amounts shown in the 5 pawns results seemed negligible to them based on their knowledge of the matter.
