    one thing not brought up is pollution

    NASCAR ran lead gas up until 2007 which affected both spectators and people living in the surrounding areas

    this and other pollutions have most certainly affected the US elections and maybe elsewhere

    takes a healthy, educated populace to make change and between pollution, schools, food and healthcare our citizens are in a stranglehold with no way out but revolt

      They still use leaded fuel in airplanes. There are higher concentrations of lead contamination within a mile of an airport.

          IMO it makes it worse because we’re just allowing rich people to use it so they don’t have to pay to modify their private planes

            I just read a report that says most piston aircraft don’t even need modifications to use unleaded so it sounds even dumber than that.

      Don’t forget all the lead in paint and other products.
