In GGGOH it really bothered me that Clark destroyed (pulverized) the Kryptonite in that creek / pond by his parent's house and then fought Trask in the same water not a minute later. Yea, on the wet Clark, boo on wouldn't that water now kill him! Especially if a little of it got in his mouth and he swallowed it by mistake. Nor is it ever addressed anywhere about the Kryptonite fallout to the water table, his parent's well and the food grown on the farm. Wouldn't these now be poisonous to him? Yet, he's constantly going to his parent's house and doing just that (eating food grown on the farm and drinking water from the well).
Has anyone done a fic where Kryptonite acts like a real radioactive substance. Lead isn't the only shield, just handy since it is cheap, easy to work and dense. Breaking it into a powder doesn't make it non radioactive but instead makes it more of a problem since it is harder to remove. I know I've seen some where it actually acts as a danger to normal humans but takes long term exposure not the instant reaction that Clark has. I think that in comic canon there was a time Luthor got cancer from wearing a Kryptonite ring for a long time.
