RE: The era of leaded gasoline ends after nearly a century of use

in Project HOPE4 years ago

Hello @emiliomoron
With gasoline it has happened as with mercury, which has medicinal use. That it has been used for so long, for example in thermometers.
But look, good data that of associating the increase in crime with the presence of lead in the air, it is quite likely that there is a relationship.

Sort:  

Hi @josevas217, I guess it is a similar case, mercury is another metal widely used in several areas, such as the medical industry. Lead attacks the nervous system and causes many mental disorders, maybe in another article I can address more about this relationship with the increase in violence.
