You are claiming there is an issue with the levels in blood - so you have the burden of proof.

the metabunk debates points out nothing more than what has already ben said here - there is nothing in the tests to suggest that ay of the levels that are reported are high enough to be any sort of health problem.

If I missed part of your post I apologise - but to be honest your posts are long and rambling and fail to make any significant point.

Here is a link to the EPA showing the MCLG for drinking water. It is 2 mg/L(that's 2000mcg/L).
Link
The PDF link I gave earlier shows the LD50 from various tests. Typically above 100,000mcg.
190mcg/L is well below the average daily consumption for a human.

the metabunk debate does not "invalidate the blood tests" - it invalidates the conclusions that the blood tests show something hazardous.

That's great but it pertains to DRINKING WATER. Now provide the link for EPA guidelines for barium as an airborne particulate because that would be relevant given we are talking about people in a region of the USA who suspect it was something they were breathing, not metabolizing through their digestion of water containing barium.

Here is a link to a Pro-chemtrail site. Even they show that Zanna's levels are trivial.
Rense
Subchronic and chronic inhalation exposure of human populations to barium-containing dust can result in a benign pneumoconiosis called "baritosis." This condition is often accompanied by an elevated blood pressure but does not result in a change in pulmonary function.
3.1.2 Subchronic Toxicity
3.1.2.1 Human An experiment testing the subchronic toxicity of barium chloride on human volunteers was conducted by Wones et al. (1990). The diets of 11 male subjects were controlled. They were given 1.5 L/day of distilled and charcoal-filtered drinking water that contained 0 mg/L barium for weeks 1 and 2, 5 mg/L for weeks 3 to 6, and 10 mg/L for weeks 7 to 10. No clinically significant effects were observed in blood pressures, serum chemistry, urinalysis, or electrocardiograms. The 10 mg/L (0.21 mg/kg/day) dose was identified as a NOAEL.
Subchronic and chronic oral or inhalation exposure primarily affects the cardiovascular system resulting in elevated blood pressure. A lowest-observed-adverse-effect level (LOAEL) of 0.51 mg barium/kg/day based on increased blood pressure was observed in chronic oral rat studies (Perry et al. 1983), whereas human studies identified a no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) of 0.21 mg barium/kg/day (Wones et al. 1990, Brenniman and Levy 1984).

You have to actually read it.

you have nothing - you are obfuscating and dissembling.

Another cheap jab.
When someone goes through the pains of thoroughly explaining a topic like how statistics are misrepresented or distorted, in very simple terms, this is not obfuscation.
I see no reason to dispute this "normal" benchmark, certainly not based on a possible range found in humans, and certainly not based on whatever the median within this range is. It must be based on an average, even if they do not disclose what the average is.
Ironically, you present one study about barium in drinking water and another that pertains to rats,
PLUS, as evidenced by your focus, readers can now see that there are indeed people here who continue to try and "debunk" the notion that these blood tests show elevated levels of barium that may be hazardous.

There are also people here who are waiting for you to show how those levels are toxic to humans. The ball is in your court. Just show what the toxic levels of barium in human blood is. You may have a valid argument, but without anything other than opinions from you, the documents provided tell a much different story.
