RE: Little town called "Leadville, Colorado". Guess what?24-03-2022 22:32
sealover ★★★★☆ (1238)	Little town called "Leadville, Colorado". Guess what? Ahhh! This is a beautiful moment for this biogeochemist. The Big Nickel story was one I read papers about, but wasn't close to the investigators. Let me tell you about a little town called "Leadville, Colorado". It is a REAL place! Guess what? The name of the town isn't just some kind of fluke coincidence. So, you want to ask me about lead biogeochemistry? THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION! It will take more than a few posts to cover it, but I promise to answer later. Seriously, I PROMISE to answer your question about lead biogeochemistry. So far I've just been talking about arsenic, methyl mercury, and hexavalent chromium. BRING ON THE LEAD! Lead biogeochemistry coming up. That's not one I want to shoot from the hip on, but it's a GOOD question. Because there is a WHOLE LOT OF LEAD out there. And it is BRAIN DAMAGING POISON. And children used to eat it in paint chips. And children used to breathe tetra ethyl lead in auto exhaust. And tetra ethyl lead, like methyl mercury, is WAY more toxic than its inorganic cousin, inorganic lead. Oh, yeah. I'll be happy to give some time to lead biogeochemistry. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- HarveyH55 wrote: Into the Night wrote: sealover wrote: That did not the lead from being toxic.

RE: Lead Environmental Toxicology: Pre-unleaded Gasoline. Pre-lead-free Paint.24-03-2022 23:54
sealover ★★★★☆ (1238)	Lead Environmental Toxicology: Pre-unleaded Gasoline. Pre-lead-free paint. Can you believe that the ancient Romans DELIBERATELY added the poisonous heavy metal lead to their wine? Sounds, crazy right? But the lead added a sweet flavor to the wine that some Romans seemed to prefer. They would store the wine in a lead container to allow lead to leach into it. The tannins in the wine formed organometallic complexes with the lead to allow high concentrations to dissolve in bioavailable form. It is astounding how long it took for anyone to make the connection between the brain damage and the lead. Well, there was a time before "unleaded" gasoline. Gasoline used to be "leaded", with tetra ethyl lead. This allowed the fuel to burn more evenly. No knocks. Just a little poison. Like any other potentially toxic heavy metal, lead can be in multiple different chemical forms, oxidation states, etc. Like any other potentially toxic heavy metal, lead can be in inorganic form or in organic form. The brain damage to Roman wine drinkers was caused by ORGANICALLY COMPLEXED lead. This is when an inorganic lead ion is complexed by ligands of organic anions. The organic anions of the tannins in the wine dissolved solid lead off the wall of the lead flask. Inorganic lead ions in a chelation complex with organic anions. This facilitated human uptake of large amounts of total lead. But the lead itself, as inorganic lead ions, was in its most benign form. It had to build up for years before they got too sick. Like when people drank inorganic arsenic in delta groundwater. It had to build up for years before they got too sick. Like when gold miners and mercury miners were inhaling inorganic mercury vapor. It had to build up for years before they got too sick. Organic arsenic in synthetic herbicides and pesticides, is in its deadliest form. A single exposure to "agent blue" was enough to cause acute toxicity and death. Organic mercury in synthetic fungicides, is in its deadliest form. A single meal of rice that was laced with organic mercury fungicide intended as a preservative for seed rice to be planted, was enough to cause acute toxicity and death. Tetra ethyl lead is lead at its worst. Usually, it burned up to inorganic lead in in the exhaust. But not everybody has such a good carbuerator. Plenty of tetra ethyl lead got spewed into the air by clunkers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- sealover wrote: My Mama told me be a scientific story teller.

It's Florida, hot, humid, and sweaty. I was barefoot, and a welding glove (minimal safety equipment). Sounds like fun. I use lead in soldering. Have for decades. I've driven cars and still fly airplanes that use lead components and use lead in their fuel as the burn moderator. I handle lead-acid batteries fairly regularly. Shoot guns regularly with lead picrate percussion caps and lead bullets. No sign of lead poisoning yet! HarveyH55 wrote: Can't believe the fear people have. True. They live in fear because of ignorance and illiteracy. Just wash the stuff off with any decent soap and water. HarveyH55 wrote: The greatest risk, would be water (sweat) in the mold, explosive. Always a danger with anything hot like that. Easy to control, too. It's also why you should watch it over concrete, which can trap water in holes, explosively cracking and spalling the concrete, should molten metal fall on it. Lead has a low enough melting point it's not too big a problem even with that, though. HarveyH55 wrote: Apparently PETG holds up pretty well, and my 3D printer will do it, if I swap to an all metal hotend. Have try it yet. Probably go with silicone molds from prints. PETG has a melting point of 500 deg F, and lead has a melting point of 621 deg F. If there is substantial PETG material, thermal energy will be soaked away from the molten lead without damaging your mold too severely. Since the lead itself also cools pretty quickly, that helps. HarveyH55 wrote: Anyway, I'm in great health, have lead all through my house, outdoors (address numbers, monogram, few other decoratives). Lead needs to be ingested... Lots of people walking around with lead bullets still in them. Indeed there are. They are still alive and can kick the shit out of morons that fear lead if they want too. Yup. Lead is found on house numbers, drawer handles, some plumbing, electronic devices, some paints, in batteries, in some fuels (especially aircraft fuel), fishing gear, ammunition, exercise equipment, diving equipment, sheathing for cables, and many other uses. A very versatile metal. Don't see a whole lot of lead poisoning. That sort of thing is really only a risk where lead is in vapor form, or if you eat lead because you didn't wash the stuff off.

RE: Most TEL oxidized to inorganic lead in most engines. Not all.25-03-2022 02:15

As explained before, most of organic lead, the TEL (tetra ethyl lead) in the gasoline fed to a well-tuned engine, gets oxidized to inorganic lead before emission into the air out the tail pipe. It is easy enough to breath in that inorganic lead. But it is going to require building more and more up in the system before it really hurts too severely. Ever smell the exhaust from a car that REALLY needs a tune up? The kind that couldn't pass smog testing to qualify for vehicle registration? The kind where you can ACTUALLY SMELL THE GASOLINE IN THE EXHAUST. Back in the day, that stank used to expose you to unburned TEL. TEL.

RE: Is RADON really a GAS? It is VERY HEAVY. Kind of radioactive and toxic.25-03-2022 05:29
sealover ★★★★☆ (1238)	Is RADON really a GAS? It is VERY HEAVY. Kind of radioactive and toxic. Let's bring in another buzzword from this of forbidden vocabulary. RADON. The heaviest of the Noble gases. Completely inert stuff. Almost. It is a gamma emitter, which can be hazardous. It is quite unreactive with anyone it bounces up against. No electric field effects, no intermittent free radical forms, no polar effects, just a bouncy bouncy superball. A very HEAVY superball that floats up from underground into the basement and up into the house. Gamma radiation is no joke. If you hear any credible sounding stuff about your area being one of the rare places where RADON REALLY DOES SEEP UP INTO YOUR HOUSE FROM UNDERGROUND.. You probably don't live in one of those places. Few people do. It's easy enough to look up if you live in a high risk place. "DON'T LOOK UP!" won't protect you from gamma radiation. This stuff is serious.

It's Florida, hot, humid, and sweaty. I was barefoot, and a welding glove (minimal safety equipment). Sounds like fun. I use lead in soldering. Have for decades. I've driven cars and still fly airplanes that use lead components and use lead in their fuel as the burn moderator. I handle lead-acid batteries fairly regularly. Shoot guns regularly with lead picrate percussion caps and lead bullets. No sign of lead poisoning yet! HarveyH55 wrote: Can't believe the fear people have. True. They live in fear because of ignorance and illiteracy. Just wash the stuff off with any decent soap and water. HarveyH55 wrote: The greatest risk, would be water (sweat) in the mold, explosive. Always a danger with anything hot like that. Easy to control, too. It's also why you should watch it over concrete, which can trap water in holes, explosively cracking and spalling the concrete, should molten metal fall on it. Lead has a low enough melting point it's not too big a problem even with that, though. HarveyH55 wrote: Apparently PETG holds up pretty well, and my 3D printer will do it, if I swap to an all metal hotend. Have try it yet. Probably go with silicone molds from prints. PETG has a melting point of 500 deg F, and lead has a melting point of 621 deg F. If there is substantial PETG material, thermal energy will be soaked away from the molten lead without damaging your mold too severely. Since the lead itself also cools pretty quickly, that helps. HarveyH55 wrote: Anyway, I'm in great health, have lead all through my house, outdoors (address numbers, monogram, few other decoratives). Lead needs to be ingested... Lots of people walking around with lead bullets still in them. Indeed there are. They are still alive and can kick the shit out of morons that fear lead if they want too. Yup. Lead is found on house numbers, drawer handles, some plumbing, electronic devices, some paints, in batteries, in some fuels (especially aircraft fuel), fishing gear, ammunition, exercise equipment, diving equipment, sheathing for cables, and many other uses. A very versatile metal. Don't see a whole lot of lead poisoning. That sort of thing is really only a risk where lead is in vapor form, or if you eat lead because you didn't wash the stuff off.[/quote]

If there is any troll vitriol included, there will be a long gap at the bottom of the lesson to make it harder to see.

RE: A Falsifiable Contrarian Hypothesis - "Lead does not damage brains.."25-03-2022 19:02
sealover ★★★★☆ (1238)	A Falsifiable Contrarian Hypothesis. "Lead does not damage brains.." The biogeochemistry of lead. Just the bullets and buckshot ALONE. Especially the firing ranges where the gun freaks play with their assault rifles. So much lead now in the soil. But don't worry. We have authoritative assurance that "Lead does not damage brains.." Lead is so harmless that some highly ethical people pay a lot to send the old car batteries to parts of Africa where there are no rules against it. Or maybe there ARE rules. Somewhere, buried in the books. It only costs a few bucks to have those toothless regulations ignored. So what happens to all the lead in the old car batteries they dumped in Africa. For purposes of debate, the assertion that "Lead does not damage brains.." is a falsifiable hypothesis. It is a falsifiable CONTRARIAN hypothesis. It flies in the face of what virtually ALL scientists thought they knew. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If some biogeochemist comes along and says that you guys didn't get the nitrogen cycle right, they are going to expect extraordinary proof. They thought they figured out all the most important things about the nitrogen cycle 150 years ago. Now someone claims the nitrogen cycle is being short circuited in many ecosystems. They claim that mycorrhizal fungi are transferring nitrogen in organic form directly to the plant, short circuiting the mineralization step. That was a falsifiable contrarian hypothesis. I have debated against real scientists who actually understand the words. So, this falsifiable contrarian hypothesis that lead does not cause brain damage. A truly EXTRAORDINARY and CONTRARIAN claim would surely have some airtight irrefutable EXTRAORDINARY proof. Otherwise, it is pretty easy to see that the Emperor has no clothes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sealover wrote: Most TEL oxidized to inorganic lead in most engines.

The guy who loves the sea and actually cares about climate has asserted that the mineralization step in the nitrogen can be short circuited by mycorrhizal fungi. This contrarian assertion flies in the face of 150 years of established science. This falsifiable hypothesis should be easy to falsify. For someone who understands everything about science from alkalinity-pH relationships to lead poisoning and the nature of radioactivity. Someone THAT smart must surely know all about something as simple as the nitrogen cycle.

Let's debate that one instead, since you won't try to back up your assertions about pH-alkalinity mathematical relations, lignin being carbohydrate, nitrate being impossible to reduce, etc., etc. Do you even know what the nitrogen cycle is and why the quantity of nitrous oxide emitted during nitrate reduction would matter to someone who cares about climate change?

RE: "Radon is not a gamma emitter." - A falsifiable hypothesis.25-03-2022 21:15
sealover ★★★★☆ (1238)	"Radon is not a gamma emitter." - A falsifiable hypothesis. Google "Is radon a gamma emitter?" You will instantly find that, yes, radon is a gamma emitter. You will also instantly find that radon is also a BETA emitter. What's the difference? Gamma rays have orders of magnitude more ionizing radiation energy than beta particles. Rays versus particles. Both a form of "radiation". A gamma ray can rip a hole in the DNA or RNA of healthy tissue and turn it into a cancer. Ask Hiroshima survivors. Gamma rays are CARCINOGENIC. A gamma ray can rip up a crucial piece of RNA in a developing fetus. This can cause that baby to have birth defects while still having healthy chromosomes. Gamma rays are TERATOGENIC. A gamma ray can penetrate deep into reproductive organs and rip a hole in the sequence of a crucial gene. This can cause birth defects in future generation. Gamma rays are MUTAGENIC. A BETA PARTICLE is NO JOKE. They carry WAY LESS ENERGY than gamma rays, but they can still burn your skin. One mistake that some members of the Chernobyl clean up crew made was to be in such a hurry to use the bathroom that they didn't remove their gloves first. No problem at first. For days after that, NASTY BURNS in sensitive areas. But even a paper suit is enough to protect from beta particles. Literally, a HAZMAT suit made of paper! That's all I needed to wear for running BETA SCINT. Radon, like radium, emits both gamma rays and beta particles in the same way. We weren't concerned about the beta particles from the radium. They were not why we were running BETA SCINT. BETA SCINT was needed to measure strontium-90 and others that emitted beta particles, but no gamma rays. Didn't really want to get into radiochemistry in order to discuss climate change, but a teachable moment should not go to waste. Gamma Spec is the name of an instrument that measures the energy of gamma rays with spectroscopy. Beta Scint is the name of an instrument that measures the number of beta particles by counting the scintillation they induce in the sensor.

A target audience who doesn't need to be convinced that climate change is real. A target audience who believes that scientists are not LIARS. A target audience who understands that the words scientists use actually mean something that other scientists understand without requirement for unambiguous definition as a precondition before presentation of argument. A target audience who will have little difficulty spotting trolls who play word games in order to pretend that they understand science. It's fine with me that they are not here yet (the target audience) It gives me time to fill up the library while I still can. They will have plenty of topics available to ask questions. REAL QUESTIONS! I probably won't have time to write any more science story telling once the questions start coming in. Surely you must have understood that I wasn't talking to YOU with all those gibber babble buzzwords that have no meaning other than to deceive the ignorant? But a lot of those posts weren't pretending to be science. They, too, were intended to be understood by the same target audience. They, too, were lessons to be studied by others. There are ways to minimize the interference from trolls. There are ways to use their idiotic assertions to facilitate better understanding of the truth. There are ways to humiliate them for their scientific ignorance. There ways to use the trolls own words to show the world what despicable human beings these vile creatures really are.

You err when implying that "Climate Change" is similarly exhaustively defined with inquisitors merely pretending that it somehow isn't. A better analogy would be one where you accuse someone of "criminal insignifistilence" and demand that he be arrested immediately. You would promptly be asked "What is that?" When you refuse to define it or to explain what you mean while claiming that "other people know what it is", you will be summarily dispatched and your buzzwords ignored. Certainly no trial could proceed until "criminal insignifistilence" had been unambiguously defined and made illegal by some legislation. ... so what is Climate Change? Is that what mothers do, i.e. they change a baby's climate? There can be no debate concerning "Climate Change" until it is unambiguously defined.

RE: Tetra Ethyl Lead (TEL) to Calibrate Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR).25-03-2022 23:47
sealover ★★★★☆ (1238)	Tetra Ethyl Lead (TEL) to Calibrate Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). HEAVY METAL GAS??? Radon and tetra ethyl lead are two gases that have some things in common. They are very heavy elements. As heavy as they get. One is a heavy metal in organic (ethylated) form. One is a very heavy Noble gas. They are both hazardous to human health. One is a carcinogen, teratogen, and mutagen. One causes brain damage. They are both VERY HEAVY ELEMENTS, yet they FLOAT IN THE ATMOSPHERE. I mean, you don't hear about some chemical form of GOLD that seeps up from underground into your house and makes you rich. GOLD is a HEAVY METAL, present in the earth's crust in a pool more than a million times greater than radon. Radon is a Noble gas. A Noble gas like helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon. Radon is the heaviest Noble gas of them all. Just about as heavy as lead, radium, or mercury. Like all Noble gases, radon is chemically inert. As it collides with other gas molecules or particles in the atmosphere, there is no chemical interaction between radon and anything else. Ever. As it collides with other gas molecules or particles in the atmosphere, radon does not physically interact through dipole interaction, electric field effects, bond resonance frequency, etc. Tetra ethyl lead (TEL) is sort of like radon that way. As TEL collides with other molecules or particles in the atmosphere, its kind of an inert super ball. The only thing that ever comes into contact are the outermost hydrogen on the four ethyl groups attached to the lead atom. As organic chemistry students learn in alkane chemistry. Those hydrocarbons yield a lot of energy if you combine them with oxygen and a spark. BOOM! BURN BABY BURN! But those hydrocarbons, like the ethyl groups on the tetra ethyl lead are pretty inert as chemicals otherwise. Hydrocarbons don't play well with others in chemistry. Mostly because they don't play at all. It is usually some other part of an organic molecule or complex where the action is, if there is any. Pure hydrocarbons don't do much spontaneously. Tetra ethyl lead. TEL. Pb is element symbol for lead. TEL formula PbC8H20 Tetra ethyl lead has 12 hydrogen atoms on its outer 4 METHYL groups. These hydrogen atoms are in the -CH3 methyl group that comprises the outer part of the "ethyl" in tetra ethyl lead. All 12 of these C-H bonds are identical in nuclear magnetic resonance. Tetra ethyl lead has 4 C-C bonds. All 4 of these C-C bonds are identical in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Tetra ethyl lead has 8 C-H bonds from the inner part of the "ethyl" in TEL. All 8 of these C-H bonds are identical in NMR. Tetra ethyl lead has 4 Pb-C bonds, which make it ORGANIC LEAD. All 4 Pb-C bonds are equal in NMR. Tetra ethyl lead has 28 different individual chemical bonds between elements in its large molecular structure. NMR only sees 4, EXACTLY the same. It's a good way to calibrate NMR. ------------------------------------------------- Into the Night wrote: sealover wrote: Just Lock the Bathroom Door from the Outside! Trolls Only Live in the SEWER!

IBdaMann★★★★★ (14389)	sealover wrote:Radon is a Noble gas. Like all Noble gases, radon is chemically inert. I totally understand the hype and fear and panic that I am supposed to feel when I read the word RADON!. I certainly get it. It's frightening. Terrifying. I see what you mean. Since you are the biogeoastrochemist, how much gamma radiation are you claiming that radon emits? sealover wrote:Those hydrocarbons yield a lot of energy if you combine them with oxygen and a spark. BOOM! BURN BABY BURN! I totally understand the hype and fear and panic that I am supposed to feel when I read the word "hydrocarbons.". I certainly get it. It's frightening. Terrifying. I see what you mean. All I can think about is "BOOM! BURN BABY BURN!" sealover wrote:But those hydrocarbons, like the ethyl groups on the tetra ethyl lead are pretty inert as chemicals otherwise. Hydrocarbons don't play well with others in chemistry. What does it mean to "play well" with others in chemistry? Are hydrocarbons like IBDaMann, i.e they don't play well with others, BOOM! BURN BABY BURN, leave a bad taste in your mouth, etc ...? sealover wrote:Mostly because they don't play at all. How does BOOM! BURN BABY BURN become "they don't play at all." Did I miss something? sealover wrote:Pure hydrocarbons don't do much spontaneously. Does water? Does plastic? Does a baseball? How about a "pure" baseball? sealover wrote:All 4 of these C-C bonds are identical in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Your layman audience will appreciate you bringing the conversation down to their level. sealover wrote:It's a good way to calibrate NMR. Not when you are simply building the constructor, closing a device or clearing the buffer. Attached image: Edited on 26-03-2022 02:34
