There is no lead in gasoline unless somebody puts it there. And, a little more than seventy five years ago, some of Americas leading corporationsGeneral Motors, Du Pont and Standard Oil of New Jersey known nowadays as Exxonwere that somebody. They got together and put lead, a known poison, into gasoline, for profit. Ad Policy Lead was outlawed as an automotive gasoline additive in this country in 1.

From that report and elsewhere, one can conservatively estimate that a total of about 6. How did lead get into gasoline in the first place And why is leaded gas still being sold in the Third World, Eastern Europe and elsewhereRecently uncovered documents from the archives of the aforementioned industrial behemoths and the US government, a new skein of academic research and a careful reading of that long ago periods historical record, as well as dozens of interviews conducted by The Nation, tell the true story of leaded gasoline, a sad and sordid commercial venture that would tiptoe its way quietly into the black hole of history if the captains of industry were to have their way. But the story must be recounted now. The leaded gas adventurers have profitably polluted the world on a grand scale and, in the process, have provided a model for the asbestos, tobacco, pesticide and nuclear power industries, and other twentieth century corporate bad actors, for evading clear evidence that their products are harmful by hiding behind the mantle of scientific uncertainty. This is not just a textbook example of unnecessary environmental degradation, however. Nor is this history important solely as a cautionary retort to those who would doubt the need for aggressive regulation of industry, when commercial interests ask us to sanction genetically modified food on the basis of their own scientific assurances, just as the merchants of lead once did. The leaded gasoline story must also be read as a call to action, for the lead menace lives. Atwood The Man From Mars Pdf Writer on this page. Consider. the severe health hazards of leaded gasoline were known to its makers and clearly identified by the US public health community more than seventy five years ago, but were steadfastly denied by the makers, because they couldnt be immediately quantified. US government was fully apprised of leaded gasolines potentially hazardous effects and was aware of available alternatives, yet was complicit in the cover up and even actively assisted the profiteers in spreading the use of leaded gasoline to foreign countries the benefits of lead antiknock additives were wildly and knowingly overstated in the beginning, and continue to be. Lead is not only bad for the planet and all its life forms, it is actually bad for cars and always was. Du Pont, GM and Standard Oil such research invariably favored the industrys pro lead views, but was from the outset fatally flawed independent scientists who would finally catch up with the earlier works infirmities and debunk them wereand continue to bethreatened and defamed by the lead interests and their hired hands. Western markets, owing to lead phaseouts imposed in the United States and, more recently, Europe, the current sellers of lead additives have successfully stepped up efforts to market their wares in the less developed world, efforts that persist and have resulted in some countries today placing more lead in their gasoline, per gallon, than was typically used in the West, extra lead that serves no purpose other than profit. You can choose whether to smoke, but you cant pick the air you breathe, even if it is contaminated by lead particles from automobile exhaust. Seventy five years ago, well known industrialists like GMs Alfred Sloan and Charles Kettering remembered today for having founded the prestigious Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the powerful brothers Pierre and Irne du Pont added to their substantial fortunes and did the planet very dirty by disregarding the common sense truth that no good can come from burning a long known poison in internal combustion engines. The steady emergence of improved methodology and finer, more sensitive measuring equipment has allowed scientists to prove leads tragic toll with increasing precision. The audacity of todays lead additive makers conduct mounts with each new study weighing in against them. Because lead particles in automobile exhaust travel in wind, rain and snow, which know no national boundaries, lead makers and refiners who peddle leaded gasoline knowingly injure not only the local populations using their product but men, mice and fish tens of thousands of miles distant. GM and Standard Oil sold their leaded gasoline subsidiary, the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation, to Albemarle Paper in 1.

But they plan to keep on selling it in the Third World profitably until they can sell it no longer. They continue to deny leads dangers while overrating its virtues, reprising the central tenets of the lead mythology chartered by GM, Du Pont and Standard lifetimes ago. These mighty corporations should pay Ethyl and Octel for keeping their old lies alive. Theyll need them, in their most up to the minute and media friendly fashion Because of the harm caused by leaded gasoline they have been joined to a class action suit brought in a circuit court in Maryland against the makers of that other product of leads excruciating toxic reign lead paint.

Though the number of cases of lead poisoning has been falling nationwide, the lead dust in exhaust spewed by automobiles in the past century will continue to haunt us in this one, coating our roads, buildings and soil, subtly but indefinitely contaminating our homes, belongings and food.
