Mq, according to the following, you have grossly misunderestimated the harm from lead in petrol, though I suspect the article is incorrect about the number of IQ points deficit due to 10 microgram per decilitre levels of lead in children.

But it's 20 years now since I was scrutinizing data and it's certain that more precise data is now available.

It looks as though the Flynn Effect can be single-handedly explained by the toxicity of lead in infants and children.

The harm done by lead is something like $100,000 per person if that data is true. It is one of the world's great blunders to have polluted the planet with lead. And it's still common all over the place where it's not necessary.

Where are class action lawyers when you need them? Associated Octel and others supplied lead. Their actions need scrutiny. Asbestos harm was trivial compared with the harm from lead in children.
