A: They always check and it's always a matter of quantities and percentages and everything.
Q: Okay, and then you should actually turn to the studies that have examined and found certain substances, whether there is synergy between them or if there is between them.
A: Antagonism.
Q: Antagonism, and as you say, in what quantities and in what concentrations there was synergy
A: True.
Q: Or in what quantities and in what concentrations antagonism exists, and only after That you are reviewing research And you try to apply it to the mixture that you're looking at, You can tell if there will be or is expected to be antagonism or synergism, right.
A: Yes. Only here in our case The mixture is endless. It's not like the lab tests two substances. We test for 400, 400 or 500 different pollutants. There can be all kinds of relationships between them.
Q: Aha. So you did this check in the opinion?
A: I'm not, I'm not into it.

- An article presented by Dr. Shlita in the chapter on synergy is by the scholar Montevidian, which deals with the composition of the mixture based on analyses of annual quantities of heavy metals in wastewater from a nuclear power plant in Lithuania. The study was carried out on plants called spirodella and lipidium. In this context, he was asked whether he had made a comparison of the concentrations of the metals in his opinion, and he answered in the negative. He confirmed that in the experiment described in this article, the toxicity of the metal-rich wastewater was tested on plants, and not on humans, and that a synergistic effect was found in spirodella and an additive effect in lipidium.
He was asked in the context of the result of the aforementioned study and answered:
Q: Are people in Haifa more spirodella or more Lipidium?
A: I can't tell you.
Q: You can't say.
A: I am very afraid that they are according to the first.
Q: You're afraid?
