The most significant source for the average person prior to the elimination of
leaded gasoline was leaded gasoline. Body burdens of lead have significantly
declined since it was eliminated.

Nonsense.

As for being "significant", kids in the southwest routinely show signs

That is now spreading across the US as the illegals spread.
