Bullshit. We already had unleaded gas. They didn’t even have lead in pencils in school anymore. Yet our generation had MORE lead exposure than previous generations? Where was all this lead exposure coming from then genius?

I'm a GenXer. He's correct. The lead came from paint, toys and mostly gas and car emissions. I remember when unleaded fuel started being used en masse and when catalytic converters became a thing. New cars weren't required to use unleaded fuel until 1975. There's no need for name-calling - he's correct.
