Description

For almost two centuries evidence has accumulated that lead damages virtually every organ system, including the central nervous system, cardiovascular system, red blood cells and kidneys. As each new set of data arrives, the lead industry intensifies its efforts to confuse the public and divert governmental controls. Recent events repeat the scenario, but with a corporate cynicism that reaches an appalling level. At the same time that new research is confirming the powerful influence childhood lead poisoning has on violent crime and learning ability, industry has argued that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should do away with standards limiting the amount that they dump in the air. Lead's toxicity to those working in the industry has been known at least since 1839. (1) "As early as 1904, an Australian physician, J. Lockhart Gibson, published an article on the source of childhood lead poisoning among his patients." (2) Rick Rabin's history of the lead industry documents that it was well aware of the dangers by the 1920s. Criticism of the industry was a major factor in the 1928 formation of the Lead Industries Association (LIA) which worked to suppress information whenever it could.
