How unhealthy is lead and why is still used in paint,toys, gasoline and so on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing question: Lead has not been in gasoline and publicly available paints for decades. It is also prohibited for decorating toys imported to the US. Some overseas vendors have snuck some products past the officials, but these are eventually identified and seized.
