“The United States and many other countries began phasing out the use of TEL in automotive fuel in the 1970s”.
“ in 1971, Congress banned the use of lead-based paint in residential projects (including residential structures and environments) constructed by, or with the assistance of, the federal government. The Consumer Product Safety Commission followed with implementing regulations, effective in 1978.”.
“gen x generally defined as people born from 1965 to 1980”.
so, yeah kinda right… but even before the ban people were a lot more cautious about child lead exposure… i’m right at the cusp of between x and millennial so i often forget how far back gen x goes.
