So just WHY now, do some children get ill/or worse from said paint?
Well, when this all began, they said that the kids were EATING paint chips that had flakes off walls.
Now, they claim that it's just being around walls that have been painted over and over and over, but lead paint is underneath.
Since millions of kids grew up in homes that had paint containing lead in it and they were fine ( around leaded gasoline too and smokers! ) it does make one wonder about the real cause/s of today's children with "problems".
It’s actually all about government “environmental” employees making up problems so they can keep their phony jobs.
There was a PSA about lead paint in the early 70s, ran on TV and radio.
Can’t find it anywhere but the lyrics are here:
Paint chips peelin’
from the ceiling
by my baby’s bed.
Eatin’ paint and plaster,
took him to the doctor.
Convulsions, lead poisonin’
ghetto malaria
why Lord, why?
Landlord lazy,
an’ I’m half crazy,
‘cause my baby’s dead . . .
The problems with lead paint IN a house is that crawling babies and some who could stand, would chew on the wooden window ledge inside the house which was done in lead-based paints.
That is a legitimate serious problem.
Lead paint on the outside of the house, not so unless lots of it got into vegetable gardens.
Lead dust - not much of a problem if you didn’t scour your walls with brillo-pads, and lead paint that has been covered with newer, non-lead paints should be any problem.
Much the same with asbestos. If you left the pipe covering alone, there would be very little dust.
There are legitimate health concerns involved here, as well as shyster-led illegitimate-gains politicians too. In California, science takes last place to charlatans and ambulance-chasers, all led by Democrat lunatic politicians.
{I’ve worked on lead-related environmental cases for almost 25 years so I know a thing or two about the subject. California is the worst state in the country re environmental lawsuits and they are proud of it).
