Hey #emergencymedicine #toxicology peeps! Anyone in PDX interested in a fun experiment being run right now might consider doing a study of heavy metal levels in the blood of people gassed by ICE during recent and upcoming marches. We know many gas grenades have heavy metals in them, so there may be a publishable public health concern here. Just a thought after recent events…
