    I wonder how many of our current problem boomers are a direct result of leaded gasoline.

      Probably quite a bit. When a reduction in leaded gasoline directly correlated with a fall in violent crime, it was confirmation. We know how long lead lasts in the body, and all that lead in the atmosphere didn’t just disappear. We know there is no safe amount of lead exposure.
