of course. I'm alluding to the fact that while theres been a significant improvement, we still in many places consume worrying amounts of lead.
originally i wanted to write that we didn't have lead exposure, but ...
Flint Michigan. and that's actually not even the worst municipal water system by far. That's merely the one that got a little more publicity than most.
It's nice that we don't have fumes from leaded gasoline, generally speaking--that it's no longer the standard and most household sector products that use fuel don't take leaded gasoline.
Yep. I don't hear many folks talk about Jackson, Mississippi's lead water problem. You'd think that being the capital of Mississippi that it would be talked about more.
