@elneurozorro It's not that long ago that an entire generation lost ~5 IQ points, because we wanted to run ICE slightly smoother by putting lead into the fuel https://t.co/dRsD0yqTJi
If you suspect you may have lead in your home call your county Health Department most have free programs for mitigation strategies. Lead is definitely a danger ⚠️.

There was never a doubt that lead is problematic but inertia and special interests are a huge impediment to structural change.

@karlbykarlsmith @calebwatney Yeah, the original paper of the chart[1] assumes pre-1975 blood lead is all from gasoline, ignoring lead paint, food can solder, factories, etc. Its own citations say gasoline is a major source... but not the only major source
Lead (Pb) exposure among children is emerging crisis. Pb could damage neurons, disrupt calcium signaling and inhibit NMDA receptors and synaptogenesis. All leading to potentially long-lasting lowering IQ and cognitive impairment. https://t.co/ZGusMt9FuS

@stumblingb @NFGPOLITICAL @KAKEnews @DerekSchmidtKS Also, it would be really hard for me to internally reconcile being homophobic, considering I'm a proud member of the LGBTQ+/GSM community myself. Here's the study on lead exposure in childhood from ~1940
Study: "Half of US population exposed to adverse lead levels in early childhood" I'm in Aus. As a kid I pumped leaded petrol at my parents' servo. We also had a sheet of lead in the back yard. Used it to make sinkers for fishing. In hindsight... not wise.
