Stainless Steel Media Cleaner & Neck Tension

Air does not dilute dust, jlow. It spreads it. Anything that enters your nose is also absorbed by your skin. Thats the reason we wear PCs (protective clothing) in the nuclear industry. That contamination is absorbed by your skin, lungs, organs and eyes. We deal with numerous components containing asbestos. The size of the particle makes no difference. Once airborne, it's airborne. Your brush doesn't have to be dry to break the lead loose, assuming, there is any lead whatsoever, present!

JRS – spreading something dilutes it - that is actually the definition of dilution. No it does not go away but your exposure is reduced.

You are unfortunately 100% wrong about the size of particles, it absolutely makes the difference. Don’t trust me, do a Google search you will see what I mean. There is a science to this and it is called toxicology.

I have a Ph.D. in pharmacology/toxicology with 30 years of research experience. I will however not count myself as a airborne contamination specialist but I have a very good understanding of toxicology and contamination since that is part of my job.

We talked about the term dilution. It of course does not in any way means it goes away. If you know nuclear physics, you will know nothing really goes away, it either gets diluted or changed to something else. I of course completely agree with you that dilution does not always mean it goes away but sometimes dilution is the only option. This is why in the nuclear industry, you are sometimes allowed to release radioactive material into the air and water i.e. it is a small amount and the dilution is great.

Trust me, when we talk about particle contamination (not gas but solids), particle size is the major factor because of the reasons I mentioned. Now, this relates to insoluble material and also to material that is not easily absorbed through skin because if it can be absorbed through your skin, we can completely forget about worrying about inhalation toxicology because you can get it right through the skin.

Seriously dude, do you really think I am trying to BS you? Or are we playing the game "I got to be right"?

Actually, it does go away. It leaves your body over time. I've been crapped-up (contaminated) many times. I have also absorbed tens of thousands of millirem's of radiation. Both have vacated my body and organs. I am subjected to a full body count each and every time I enter a nuke plant. As of the last outage I worked in February of this year, I have a zero reading. Whether lead ever leaves one's body or doesn't, I really don't know. I do know that any type of dust, can, and will, be absorbed by our skin. I happen to know a couple of toxicologists, and they wear protective clothing. As I stated earlier, it's the reason we wear protective clothing when exposed to any type of contamination. BTW:
You aren't going to BS me. I work in and with it. I don't have to be right, however, in this case, I am

Congrats on your Ph.D I won't tell you the field in which I earned mine.

I understand, but its completely different stuff. For example, I worked with tritium, C14, P32, and I125. Tritium which is an isotope of hydrogen can go into your body and leaves just as easily as hydrogen, C14 since it is carbon can be incorporated into your body and stay longer, I125 goes straight for your thyroid and is concentrated three. So the isotopes you are talking about all have different bio-distribution patterns and yes, some will come off easily and of course their half-lives are totally different.

Lead is a completely different animal, it is completely different in terms of bio-distribution and half-life, and there are of course different types of lead. The lead we are talking about goes to your bone and is released very slowly. When we talk about toxic substances, details makes all the difference.

Read this, its’ only one page long. Look under “Key Points”.

My Ph.D. is ancient history ;D

I am calling it quits, I doubt if any of the folks here (well maybe a few...) is interested in finding out which one of us has the biggest penis... ;D

As usual jlow adds so much off topic bovine scatology to the topic it ruins the topic.

And if anyone thinks a degree in science, history or basket weaving is needed to pull the handle of a reloading press you need your head examined.

And jlow I got my higher education complements of the USAF during the Viet Nam war and was stationed in Japan for three years.

And it was the Japanese girls who gave me the name "Big Ed".

Ty for ur service, but honestly big....my pinky toe is considered "big" to a Japanese girl, so I don't know if I would brag too much about who gave u ur name.
Now, if u were stationed in Africa.....Different story...

Your the type of guy that would bitch if they hung you with a new rope, but just remember the old Winston Super King Commercial.

It's not how long you make it, it's how you make it long.

P.S. Next time try hitting all the keys some of us can't read Morse code. :

Freedlorace77 – appreciate your comments. It’s not worth talking to him, he just loves going around to stir things up hoping to get someone mad. In the end, he is just a big troll and it’s a total waste of time and breath talking to him. He seems to do well just talking to himself so let him. 8)

JFC, I can't believe you guys are on another thread, this time about CLEANING BRASS, arguing about particulate absorption and having an ego contest. WTF. I'm about to show you my PhD in Zero Tolerance.

OP. Clean your brass. However you like. Use a dry neck lube if the method you use is over cleaning. Or just reduce the dwell time (30 minutes in a SS tumbler is usually plenty). Then go shoot it. Then repeat. The rest of the crap in this thread is utterly useless.

And yes, I locked the topic so I could have the last word. It's good to be the king.
