Much like the asbestos scare of a few decades ago. Much of the asbestos in schools was in vinyl asbestos floor tiles and was often encapsulated in decades of floor wax. The floor tiles posed little hazard until they were ripped up in the zeal to remove all traces of asbestos from schools and in doing so hazardous asbestos dust was released.
If the politicians would ban mass shootings in schools there wouldn’t be a lead dust problem.
Yes in the old days before the 1980s lead was what made bright white house paint white. There are still many pre1980 houses around, but the biggest concentration of interior lead based paint would be in older, poorer neighborhoods. Yeah, more likely black areas.
Is that the best you got??? Weak!!
What we are probably seeing is an advance in lead detection, with their claim that “there are no safe levels of lead”.
Pencil “lead” has been graphite since I was a kid.
