One can`t tell the present location of the physical object from childhood when a guy is 30 years old or more coz by then the crib is probably gone. Even babies gnaw on windowsill ledges that had lead paint in them, and their tricycles and toys also had lead in them-

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TRACE ALL THAT LEAD BACK TO CHILDHOOOD TOYS AFTER ADULTHOOD_

PROVE YOUR CASE- Where`s the evidence that someone has actually traced lead poisoning in an adult back 30 years to a childhood object contaminated with lead paint-

I am waiting.
BTW I STILL GOT MY CRIB FULLA LEAD PAINT N I`m pushing 80 hahaha perfect health too

what a buncha crap

Yeah, if the only source is a childhood crib that it might be difficult (note, NOT "impossible) to make the connection. If the crib just happens to be available, one certainly CAN make the connection. It would be darned expensive, but NOT impossible. Once lead gets into bone, it doesn't (easily) get out, and there are instruments that can scan the thickness of the bone one layer at a time, to see how old the person was when the exposure occurred.

Basically, it would involve cutting a disc out of the bone, and then sampling it layer by layer in an EXTREMELY sensitive mass spectrometer, by ablating one layer at a time...probably with a pulsed, focussed laser.

Has anyone actually "done" the above??? Probably not (see "expensive"), but the analysis capability is available (Note...I'm an analytical chemist....so certainly knowledgable about what today's technology is capable of).

But there are plenty of lead sources that are contemporaneous (i.e. as in the posted article)to exposure. So the lead used in the plant processes most certainly CAN be connected to an exposed person or persons.
