I'll have a go at this. Surely there are occ health safeguards in place to
ensure that the employees aren't exposed to an amount of chemical/ drug that
would be significant to them (I'm assuming she is working with
pharmaceuticals). If the dose is low enough to be of no significance to mum,
then would it not logically follow that any breastmilk dose would be
insignificant? And if she is worried enough about being exposed to something
enough for it to be of significant levels in her breastmilk then surely
there should also be concern as to how much she is absorbing herself?
