I used to love watching Fugazi while eating a big bowl of Fort Reno dirt. Must they take everything away from me?

I like that the concert series takes top billing over general safety concerns in the neighborhood.

Technically, there's no such thing as a zero reading. You can only have ND (not detectable), which depends on the test. It's probably around 10-50 ppb in this case, though there are methods that go below 1 ppb.

Personally I wish the PPM's were within the 20-43 range: posing a threat to humans, but safe regardless.

Nope! Why are you? Do you know something that the scientists and doctors and experimentalists who calculated these safety margins -- which the soil comes in well under -- do not?

I am wary of those numbers. Is anybody else?
