In a first-time study, it has been found that lead content in crockery is well beyond the permissible limits.
Statement I: Since Indian food is normally hot and acidic, there is a greater risk of leaching of lead into the food and hence the use of crockery should be minimized.
Statement II: There is no need to be scared of as lead poisoning is the least covered in the field of toxicity and such a study has been done for the first time.
Only argument I is strong as it directly relates to the question and highlights the potential health risk associated with the use of crockery with high lead content. Argument II is a weak argument as it is not directly related to the issue and provides misleading information about the extent of coverage of lead poisoning in the field of toxicity.
