    The problem is that it’s so inert, it becomes impossible to remove from a contaminated environment or particularly a person’s blood stream.

    The amount that inevitably gets caught in your blood will just stay in your body forever, settling down in a critical organ like your brain or kidneys and giving you cancer or some other horrible problem.

      We’re running on theory alone here, but if thats true, then its too inert to be reabsorbed by your kidneys and therefore would pass into your urine and leave your body that way. Also how is it causing cancer if it’s inert?
