I'd like to start a new thread to discuss all matters relating to lead, its uses, lore and the problem that it poses as a public health issue.
Lead is fascinating stuff and historically commonplace, but becoming less so in modern usage. My initial interest was in terms of lead as an occupational poison and developed as I became aware that lead was known to have potential to be poisonous in ancient times, but continued to be used until the present day simply because it has remarkable properties.
