Lovely. I’ve always wished for more lead in my air.

But the real environmental reg rollback was the lead in our hearts.

One of my favorite graphics of something horrible.
Leaders Leading the Lead Renaissance...

You know what's interesting about this is that it also shows that lead has a lasting effect. The initial 1:1 drop was probably people who had levels that were affecting them for a shorter amount of time (basically younger) and the remainder were older people.
What is the ratio now in 2024 vs 2011?

I couldn't find a clean and easy graphic showing that, but a quick Google search for "lead poisoning crime rates" unearthed a few recent studies and articles, including a few on the NIH website. It really sucks how there's a strong residual in the crime rates even when lead concentration drops. Really shows how permanent and contagious the damage really is. Pandora's box is lined with lead.
