Could our body deal with trace amounts of unknown chemicals?

[QUOTE="fresh_42, post: 6515396, member: 572553"] Yes. That's the reason why we do not want to have e.g. plutonium, asbestos, or quicksilver in the environment, why childrens' toys shouldn't contain heavy metals, why food shouldn't contain carcinogens, etc. I could say small doses cannot be harmful, but that would be negligent. It always depends on what [I]small [/I]is, or in your words what [I]trace amounts[/I] are. Have you never wondered why medical drugs contain only some milligram of active agents? You can overdose on almost any substance. It really depends on what and how much - always. [/QUOTE]
