We know lead's toxic, but until you've shown that it's toxic when added to gasoline, you have no right to prohibit us from using it, right?

So that is now known as the keyhole rule.

And it's relevant not only for lead, but for PFAS, for air pollution, for all these other things.

Because what it set as a precedent, until you've shown that these chemicals or pollution is toxic,

When used in commerce, you have no right to prohibit industry from using it.

And one of the interesting things is we don't have standards.

We have guidelines.

And amazingly, the cities generally try to conform to those guidance levels.

With water lead, we're down to five parts per billion.

The U.S.

is dicking around with 10 parts per billion, but it's not even really very...

It's not enforced very well.

So we are doing better in some ways, not so good in other ways.

The European Union, generally speaking, is doing much better than North America.

Thank you, Eric.

I appreciate it.
