Lead to a dead end

I just received the results of my tap water test courtesy of the D.E.P. and frankly I am disappointed. My tap water has a 70% lower lead content than the maximum allowable levels*. This means my cognitive impairment is not the result of lead poisoning, but senility. Maybe I should have the water checked for radioactive isotopes as I also seem to be losing hair lately. Maybe it's just old age, although I can't remember exactly how old I am.

*Lead levels vary in each building, your apartment may be higher or lower than mine. My reading was 2 micrograms per liter, and the maximum allowable is 15 micrograms per liter.
