You know frequent headaches are a symptom of lead poisoning... ;-)
I'm not entirely convinced about the data myself, but they made a
pretty good case, since lead was phased out at different times in
different countries and the effect was always there. It is well
established that lead makes people more stupid, and more risk-taking,
so I can see how it could be true. The wider question I have is if it
had an effect on crime, just what effect did it have on the general
intelligence of the population, and where we are now as a result of
that. We might never know just how much damage Thomas Midgley actually
did. Some of the damage is only apparent decades later (as with
asbestos), and some is never discovered.
I agree effective waste treatment would be preferable, but this is
better than doing nothing.
