Chapter 5.13, Problem 5.27YT
Beginning in the 1920s, the octane-booster tetraethyllead (TEL) was mixed with gasoline to improve vehicle performance and fuel economy. The United States completed the ban on leaded gasoline in 1996 because of the hazards associated with lead exposure and its damaging effect on catalytic converters and spark plugs. However, other sources of lead still exist. Be a detective on the Internet to identify:
- a. an occupational source of lead exposure.
- b. a hobby that is a source of lead exposure.
- c. a source of lead exposure that particularly affects children.
