Did you really?

Oh, and a useful thing came out of it, which is I learned about Alice Hamilton and a terrific scientist who exposed the dangers of tetraethyl lead and leaded gasoline.

American Poison, great book, but took decades to discover.

You know how they discovered that tetraethyl lead was in the air?
was the uh it was a scientist in berkeley i believe who uh was trying to get you know remove all lead from his environment all containment just couldn't do it and they they've made this this expedition to uh i think the the arctic to look at lead levels in the ice and what they discovered was that the lead levels decreased rather than increasing as they went deeper so what that you know if it had just been ambient
then they would have expected to abate over time.
