Episode: CLASSIC: Beyond Flint: The Looming Lead Crisis
It was highlighted as an informative read about lead poisoning, specifically in the context of the Flint water crisis and the wider dangers of lead exposure.
there's an amazing book written called led wars by authors david rosner and a guy named jerald markowitz and in led wars they note that yes flint's problems are being addressed it's in the national media now however whether or not flint has highlighted the problems with lead and pipes there's a bigger thing lead is a neurotoxin and it can be found on walls in the soil in the air and even a small exposure can again impair brain development it can cause hyperactivity dyslexia adi q loss
rosner argues that it goes back to the 1910s and the 1920s when doctors were documenting children who had led on their fingers as a dust and put their hands in their mouth and began going into seizures
the average can of paint from the 1990s to 1950 contained like 50% lead carbonate
there were advertising things that said lead is much cleaner than wallpaper look how slick it is use lead
what rosner markowitz said that i i recommend highly this interview they did with uh mpr and the book itself they found an active conspiracy by the lead industry and i know it might sound ridiculous for me to say big lead but that's exactly what it was

there's an amazing book written called Led Wars by authors David Rosner and a guy named Jerald Markowitz and in Led Wars they note that yes flint's problems are being addressed it's in the national media now however whether or not flint has highlighted the problems with lead and pipes there's a bigger thing lead is a neurotoxin and it can be found on walls in the soil in the air and even a small exposure can again impair brain development it can cause hyperactivity dyslexia adi q loss

the average can of paint from the 1990s to 1950 contained like 50% lead carbonate which is so in it's all it's slap dashed all over uh the the walls of older places there were advertising things that said lead is much cleaner than wallpaper look how slick it is use lead
what rosner markowitz said that i i recommend highly this interview they did with uh mpr and the book itself they found an active conspiracy by the lead industry and i know it might sound ridiculous for me to say big lead but that's exactly what it was that was similar to uh some of the stuff the tobacco industry did when the carcinogenic effects of cigarettes and dip and all this other stuff came to light the lead industry went around the country saying telling doctors you haven't completely proved the lead is the cause of children going into uh convulsions and kids dying
but the problem is this led to a vastly underestimated number of lead poisoning cases because if they were not recognized it looked like maybe they had a high fever or another kind of thing but what the lead industry did to take this conflation of symptoms and use it to their advantage was to say uh lead poisoning was overstated and the doctors were misdiagnosing children
