Toys leaching lead over 90 parts per million are hazardous, so what about 210 parts per million in your mouth?

Let's think about that. How long will it take that crown to "leach" that 210 parts per million? How long does it take a crown to dissolve in your mouth? Is this really a lead poisoning hazard, or just a lot of innuendo that creates the perception. Public service, or fearmongering sensationalism?

What is the mass of a crown in grams?

What proportion of that is lead?

Shouldn't be too hard.

The other question is, once the metal core is exposed, what substances which you eat will increase the solubility of the lead? Lead will generally form insoluble precipitates, but that didn't save the Romans.

Cheers!

What happened ot Rome after they built lead lined aqaducts? They went crazy, having sex orgies, going on eating binges, and they fell. They fell. Lead makes one crazy.

“The lab determined that the porcelain filed away in her mouth contained lead. “

It appears that the porcelain cap was filed in her mouth upon insertion and the filings contained lead.
