in the late 70s, 88% of kids had blood lead levels of 10 ug/dL or higher (bc of leaded gasoline, paint, plumbing)

now the average is less than 1 ug/dL, 3.5 ug/dL is considered high, and researchers are finding lost IQ even at 1-2 ug/dL.
Like most of our parents could have lost 6+ IQ points

UPDATE it’s almost finished 😅 just need to proofread and make a few edits and put together the bibliography

it is really interesting, it’s actually crazy how much the amount of lead in kids’ bodies has plummeted since the 70s and yet they’re still finding IQ deficits with even the smallest amounts
