……当时为了向记者证明 TEL（四乙基铅）是安全的，他居然把双手浸在一盆这玩意儿里洗手（https://www.bbc.com/news/business-40593353）！Deborah Blum 在她 2011 年的优秀著作《The Poisoner's Handbook》（https://www.amazon.com/Poisoners-Handbook-Murder-Forensic-Me...）中完整记录了这件事。Blum 还曾把 TEL 的故事节选出来给《连线》写过一篇文章，可以在这里阅读：https://www.wired.com/2013/01/looney-gas-and-lead-poisoning-...
…where, to assure reporters that TEL was safe, he washed his hands in a bowl of the stuff (https://www.bbc.com/news/business-40593353)!

是的，当时确实存在质疑，但在法律层面上，质疑者根本做不了什么来阻止这些产品销售。如果你对这些感兴趣，建议去读一本书叫《The Poisoner's Handbook》（毒理学手册），作者是位叫 Deborah Blum 的记者。书里记录了法医毒理学的发展历程，正是这门学科推动了后来的许多消费者保护法出台。书里甚至有一章专门讲镭、Radithor（镭水）……
Yes, there was skepticism, but there wasn't much, legally, that skeptics could do to prevent these products from being sold. If you're interested in this stuff, you should check out a book called "The Poisoner's Handbook", written by a journalist named Deborah Blum. It covers the development of forensic toxicology, which eventually lead to a lot of consumer protection laws. There's even a chapter on radium, Radithor,…
我的出处是《The Poisoner's Handbook》，该书指出当时美国大部分地区对死亡数据的统计做得很差，甚至完全不追踪。书中给出了纽约市的数据，但粗略查看其参考来源，似乎并没有标明这些统计数据……
My source was The Poisoner's Handbook, which suggests that deaths were not tracked well or at all in most of the US. The book gives statistics for New York City but a cursory examination of its sources does not seem to list where those statistics…
