Welcome to study, should now greenhouse networks and welcome to the bar gets them Josh clogged with Charles that each a brain jerry's to my right right reporting in the new carpet rhetoric. Jerry's Burrito Shack near there is eating a burrito right now, a further one. I guessed right, you didn't make that from scratch fresh Jerry present breeders have neither from nothing wrong with any frozen burrito ever created. Yeah I mean, there's is the very specific enough. I mean it's not like of fresh burrito, but it is something that still read this. You call a cab read tat her something weird like that, something they didn't Jane. I agree with you man, yet the man sometimes on that refreshed bean.

Out and burns your mouth here at the back of a hole in your in your gun, your guns for a couple days, the alpha little cheese on top due to a cooler than the oven now to Milton TAT Ellison into louder than until autumn makes this it's the sauce right. Yeah. Ok, that's welfare swimming sauce. Until at US ass, you say your best ensure yet away chuck we're talking about lead today. That's right. Do you know much about the year Flint Michigan lead, poisoning scandal that happened as a blemish. Yeah a posted about our Facebook law a couple of months ago and thought it was a part of a lively discussion there, but I m only from that in it research yeah same here I mean I was aware of that kind of. I didn't understand the details, but for those of you

you? Don't know about the Flint Michigan water poisoning? The Flemish again has faced a lot of problems Sancho Industry Runaway, but one wasn't pour water quality, they actually the people of Flint actually paid I think the highest rate are among the highest rates in the country to get their water. No water was pumped from Lake Huron through Detroit and Flint bought their water from Detroit. Get that good cleaned. What're, you know you're in a pickle when you buy more from Detroit and that's the healthy warrior, so their building a new pipeline from Lake Huron that goes around Detroit in Flint, said we're gonna get in on that action and treated or yellow were cancelling or contract rather than pay for a ship. Term contract with Detroit the emergency manager, the basically than the emergency mare appointed by the governor himself here said, or just gonna happen to the Flint River. There, not a good idea, as it turned out

It's not because an flemish again there were, among other places something called a Buick city there. Buick city was a foreigner plus acre car manufacturing plant. Let me buicks and dumb. It really heavily polluted the river so much so that people in Flint, after just a few months of drinking this water from the tap started, losing their hair. All right away. They said this looks and taste awful right its case of chlorine. The reason it tasted, of course, because there were equal- I break outbreaks here today I d like treat the water with horror I hear, and then it also offered to some people it smelled like us so free as well. It look terrible but people certain losing hair, so he getting rashes here.

There there was one kid who had an auto immune disease already. He just stop growing there and it was. It was bad news, but the people have fled the Flint government in the Michigan Environmental Protection division We said no were following all the laws, everything's I'm with the water just go back to sleep. Flint inflicted something different. A bunch of them thought themselves, the science of like water and sanitation, and with the drinking water laws, they became basically citizen scientists and they took it back to the flight government and the state government said you guys are wrong. This is toxic water and were being poison, and you have to something about it may finally did why. I think the issue was don't play. Dumb no, you know like right you make an US, tell you exactly and they kept the apparently. The company line was no the here's the science here the here. The results of the tests, but the test

Airbus, and, if you want to know all about it, there's a really really great article on five thirty, eight dot com, call what went wrong in flint and arm is really chronicles. Everything very well with the big problem with point is, that there was chlorine in the water. It was that there were, bunch of lead in the water and the reason why there went to lead in the waters because there's lead pipes go into a lotta houses and Flint, and the water that was being pumped through those pipes, the so corrosive that is bringing a bunch of lead with it in poisoning this, for four months and the reason people use, let him pipes is because it's not corrosive corrosive, they talk, the water. What yeah exactly there really says. Something really does, and I guess we'll Lubeck later and talk about the lawsuits in alaska- sure that's a good idea. I think it's great idea can a book in it. But let's talk about let itself like. What's the problem with light, where I come from that

the whole idea of using lead. Pipes. Is nothing new either sexually? Pretty ought to tell you the truth, yeah well, while the Romans of course were the first to do almost everything, either Asians or Romans sure why dont know Africa. Mr submissively, everybody accepts that Europe has the migration the end and exactly don't forget all the innovation going on a measure. America as well shut up. When he came before us, but it's been going on since ancient times Romans using where, as lead piping of her sewage and carrying water even

water and containers lined with lead, and in fact this is pretty interesting. I think the english word for planning and the Chemical symbol p B that has led comes from the latin word, plum bomb now plum bombs that plumbers crack her nice. If it wasn't, it is officially now you know my friend Eddie here is young daughter asked him what plumbers crack. What's he uttered area and he says what you tell our unease. You know folder when it was said. Sometimes farmers they bent over, like as pipes, are below you in sometimes your pants saga, little than you see there, but crack here and she went up. Ok now only I take issue with, is the use of the word sometimes at other times. Other knows. A great explanation so the latin plum bomb, which means led yeah, which there has been a serious to me for many decades p B, doesn't make any sense. I would they call it be attainable. Ed, right and p B. Is your

the periodic table. In the reason you ll find out. The periodic table because lead is another, a heavy metal and it has also to properties that make it very. Terrible yeah, really unique to, although super super touch, it will find yeah. It's not often you can find something that is Super Matthew, oft by also strong and dense, exactly which makes lead a perfect for water pipes. Also. It also resist corrosion. Like you said can run more threatened as long as the waters not super bad, that the lead won't rust. It will lead to lead into the water, but it still won't run straight right. So it's also not very good investing electricity, which makes led very useful for other things. Like I'm soldering electrical connections,

The electrical connection will remain the thing that transmit the current. The lead want. It's pretty awesome. Yeah did you say soldier soldier soldier, never heard of another way. How do you set solder, a soldier? You can say that EL there may be a sale unless its regional, naughty, regional, regional. To my brain think soldier, you said that because you're from Toledo, so the use of the use of lead goes back. Even for the Romans actually, but it first appeared mostly and are like lead paint, yeah unlike gum, they describe. Articles a novelty and it was apparently it makes colors more vibrant and its less corrosive, which is why, still even in the United States, lead paint on ELM street signs, because this less corrosive does not really as what they say it still used on size.

Supposedly up until as recently as the nineties, and it may still be going on depending on the country that is produced in the ink on the side of a plastic bread bag. Frequently have lead in it or used to really, and it wasn't a problem unless somebody kept red bag and turned it inside out to store food in then that food the way out of the eight hour there was actually like a big Ireland for a while, I am not sure that it is anymore confined, thereby increasing the most recent thing ass. I was ninety ninety one saying that yet still happens right boy, it's less expensive is a paint which is another reason in the end, the colors and more vivid apparently This has been an in the: U S for a while, but in China they said use a lot of lead in paint and in two thousand

Then there are massive recalls for everything from DORA: the explorer toys to Sesame Street joys due to the fact that they have the lead paint on him in little kids, but everything in their mouths quitting their toy as a big dummies and they end up eating lead, which is big problems, are those of massive recall of chinese products and ninety ninety seven, because it is the NOS two thousand and seven, but if they nanny yeah. You harking back to the urban transport day. If he had, did you left him up, you mustn't out? I don't think there's two really! Why desgas I like him? None anyhow! I remember them vaguely oh yeah, it wasn't like I've never heard of the urban Danske Y know you could take music middle class for the globe great liquor, intimately great our Medina look at at at at at just where that you say thank you,

missing out for no real, because I mean again, I remember veneer scope for some reason. I put them in line with like spin doctors and thrill but none were in only three eleven could be slightly compared because they were kind of Iraq RAP Group, but they were dutch Urban NASCAR was So let me make some cool and he read our automatically. This would have been so what are they talking about? Angela is urban death squad. So lead paint in the United States is while it still an issue in some ways, because older houses still have it but yeah as a nineteen. Seventy eight, they said no more get the light out, that's right and they in it as any paint or surface voting that contains led equal. Exceeding one milligrams per square centimeter. Yet so, basically in ninety

and you said if you're going to manufacture something for somebody's home, that people are generally gonna come in contact with most people don't come in contact with street signs the density of bright, then you can't have led in it by again any house built pre ninety seven year in there's plenty of a mountain. Very likely has lead paint in it. It also probably has lead pipes yeah and there's a lot of lead around us all over the place. Places you wouldn't even think like there's lead, let it glass I got no really like a glass. You, like you, might be using: u conceivably could be drinking led out of it? Oh, but you don't drink out a letter, glass, sure the year, be they use it to make regular plain old glass anymore like crystal it, gives it like a ping. When you were you tap it, it makes it the cult, the reflection alot sharper. It also lowers

melting point, so you know, if you put it in the oven, it doesn't like me right, but its conceivably bad for you, you know who was on it long before the United States. Government federal government was the city of Baltimore. And fifty one they banned, led pigment for interior paint. Very smart. For their housing in since the fifties it had kind of been phased out in different parts of the country. And then in eighteen, seventy one we finally get the federal lead, Poisoning Prevention ACT, and then it took seven years after that to fully then the paint the panes lead paint there is another big source of lead that was all over the place in the twentieth century, and that was in Gasolene in cars. There is an additive in gasoline. There was added to link called. I touch rather wide right here. You remember that, like you know, filled up with them

you're right or an or fully led his brain, and the reason that they added led to gas is because there is a problem called knocking right where the high performance engine, when the gas entered the ignition chamber, the combustion chamber, it may just get so apt up that it would combustible ignite before it was supposed to, and this would basically disrupt the move the persistent dry cleaning it hanging, they knocked they paying. That did all sorts about the lead, kept the gas from combustion igniting before it was meant to so it was a pretty great additive thing is. We already knew that led was not good for you at the time when we are ready to gas anyway, and they were Finally phased out in the seventies, starting seventies. I should say because we, started. Adding catalytic converters to our cars, yet

that, in just r r, the process of the chemical process of refining petroleum just advance so we no longer needed it right. There wasn't a crummy gas. It was pretty good gas, it didn't need led yeah if you run Larry gas through a catalytic converter totalling messes up and the kettle the camera borders there to prevent emissions, so you take later gas, the problem found found is that during these few decades, from like the twenties till actually ninety ninety six was the last here you could have led in your gas in the United States year, ninety ninety six, that during this period Basically, all cars on the road were spewing led led vapours into the atmosphere. There were just go into the air and then come back into the ground and settle in the soil and water. In your face, yeah I had a use

the gas in my arm. I had to put it in my early, be w beetles that I drove oh yeah. Had a couple of old invented vintage the bottom new, oh yeah yeah, my mom. She bought a sixty a beetle brand new worsening. That's when I drove one item. Sixteen, while I think so around her yet yeah nice out. In other things, they never die. If you take care of him, did you like every use, duct tape or anything like that on the whole, but I did funny you mentioned. I had a whole visible hole in the rear floorboard here that that we, my friends, call the Flintstone scar. I can put your feet down and run as I did have a board a running board now, for it over the whole, but I mean you can remove the board run while you're sitting in the back seat attract great car, lead, has been added to cosmetics over the years Jus jury potter

and then today, because everyone knows what is so such a jerk, one of the only place you can find in the? U S, at least as in your carbon, your carbineer, your car battery or your laptop actually yet, which is why it is really important to recycle that car battery dont or that laptop, don't throw it in the woods yet responsibly, recycle your electronics and batteries There's one thing that we ve learned since the twenty centuries that lead has some serious staying power and it is the very pesky tendency out of wherever we put it right, yeah, yeah, feeble in just a regular landfill. That's not designed to accept things like lead elderslie. You knew the groundwater and the same thing with e waste here. You're laptops and the reason that we there used in laptops is because the leg actually

tax you from the radiation. There would shoot out of your laptop screen into your face. Yet if it were for the toxic led him there, that's right, glass, cathode, ray tubes like you find in your computer, laptop screen blog about your laptop with your computer. Your monitor this it led in there. You should responsibly recycle your laptop to fishing for a number of reasons, you did, I was called electronic recycling yellow. Is it like just a thought? Her? I'm not going he did a video series where you like now sure he thought I can't you remember. I created the series They were non e g, recycle, nobody cared a watch, so the world was not saved. Everyone said Jack, doing it let us take a break. I'm gonna go criteria fora and what was the name of that Syria IONA, we'll Google forties import them out on me

the I will be back in a SEC New year's resolutions are very, very difficult to keep getting exercise, save more money. What about this? We have a resolution that you can really work with stop wasting time going to the post office that right you stamps dot com instead because they bring all the services of the Eu S postal service right to your computer with your small business. Sinning invoices, or packages or an online seller shipping out products stamps that can handle it all with ease yank it. This was simply come. You get five cents off every first class stamp in up to forty percent of priority mail. This right? U S, postage twenty four, seven for any letter, any package, any class anywhere you want to send it, there's no risk and using our promo code, ass white, ass, gay you're gonna get this

offer afore weak trial, plus free postage and a digital scale, and there are no long term commitments or contracts just go to stamp that come click on the microphone off the top of the home page and type in s. Why, as K that stance, I come promo code S, why s k, stamps outcome or go to the post office again, are addressed. Talk a lot about lead so far in essential areas and to lead us in Dutch, Rob rack rat rock band. Here let comes from the Eartha which was ticket under yeah. It's not actually mean it is naturally occurring, but it doesnt naturally occurring it's pure form. Data dislike dig down, ok, there's they conquer led me, pull it out. Instead, lead Adams have, I think, for unprepared,

like Trans, maybe in its outer shell, so it likes to form connections with other thing so when you find led in the earth, you're gonna find it in the form of a oxide or sulfide, or something like that, frequently its combined with silver, and so that means It has to be separated, and even the Romans back in the day which, by the way, these roman lead pipes again used for bags in four sanitation and still intact today that you can still take those up and beat people with them. You could there so strong the other place I'll find a lead. Pipe is in the hands of some. Do come an idea or a game of clue how he had it was bent. Even the guy was hit so hard with the current mustard. He was not to be trusted. He was not. But yes, the Romans they had a pretty and man they're. So smart, they are pretty ingenious process I called. Relation with the extent of that is basically the ideas that

some precious metals, I'm sorry, precious metals are precious metals, won't oxidize, but dumb metals will save you heed that junk up, it's gonna, separate right in that they use them mostly to separate from silver. But these days we get most of our lead from something called Galina I led sulfide as found right yet our process a sort of similar. It is Harrison like using heat, the separate things, and this is actually a very much to remember our waste gasification episode, and remember which one this was. I hope TAT was there on time, because the process very similar, so you take some lead sulfide and you heated up in the air. So there's the presence of oxygen and converted into led oxide Sulphur dioxide right here is separate, em out a little bit. Then you take, let oxide in you egg carbon coke

you again mix it with some air and, as it happens, the error combines with the oxide into car or no the carbon combined with the air and becomes carbon dioxide takes up the oxygen molecules from the lead items, so the lead. Basically, what amounts to pure led becomes more, Ngos down to the bottom of the furnace in carbon dioxide, goes out into the atmosphere, sounds like a very safe process. Basically creating molten lead in carbon dioxide yeah, that's called roasting in smelting. What's that lead sinks, cools down asking is called the pig is just a big mess, a lead basically yet like piggin yeah, it's it's wishes, and then you have flag, which is the non metallic byproduct of this melting process here and now you didn't call that down in its waste their waste product. Yes,

in what you said. Recycling your car batteries important because there's also process called secondary extra where they get that led out of your battery rest, you can keep using exactly the other good thing about, let it is stream re usable because again it has a lot of staying power. So you can use led up right, which means you want to reuse it. Yes, we can to the point where we don't need to mine anymore, lead or processed anymore, led just reuse lead, we ve got or maybe find some great substitute that isn't so talk that cannot be a meltdown, tiny civil war, figurines, oh yeah goes on those led sure. Ok, I thought they were the handling and painting those, would lead paint this dangerous right. Yes, yes, yes, It is that, where we're losing so many civil war figuring, but I think so at an alarming rate- that's why are they all have spit

in drool, around corners of their mouths and like zone out while their painting, while those are the reasons for that pressure, can It's so ok, you mention are? We mention led refining and processing smelting roasting, that kind of stuff right. It does create emissions of not just carbon diet. Side, but also lead vapor, yet which is not good stuff, and you want to control that kind of stuff, but it is emitted in it. To be what these days let emissions from refining and process. Are actually the number one source of lead. Vapor missions in the environment right by forty year about forty years ago. Forty five years ago, there was not the case. The case was all those cars driving around on the streets emitting led vapor. Still account for about seventy eight percent. If it came from your automobile and since that the phasing out

in reversal, are we now fifty two percent coming from the the processing and what is it down to our road sources? It served thirteen percent thirteen percent. You have your combustion yeah. Now that No, not that still again, he basically want like zero refining like the as will see the light. Exposure in any amount is not good and it gets. It goes from not good to really bad. Very quickly, apparently yeah. Now that you know, let us know good. We mention that kid's chewing on something with lead paint is not good. If you're redoing your house and its prey eighteen. Seventy eight and I get a piece tested. You can't dispute let me say off now that the pain on this moulding now, because again, even if you think you ve clean it up their real, then there's led right there buddy here that you're not going to get rid of it, apparently

opening and closing your windows in a pre nineteen. Seventy eight house can create led dust. Yet if you're lucky enough to be able to open your windows, sure with it as a point minor sealed shut your mail charter. What have you they're just from years of painting? Basically with probably let me guaranteed Now- has not actually we were tested. Oh did you yeah. Let me- and it was at one hundred percent- lead paint for you So they all the way through like yea but what I'm saying is pre nineteen. Seventy eight is now I know it's the only thing that was used. I know you think, that's why you get attested right, but did you like all the layers underneath tested well for any yeah. Ok, there layers sounded like we hired a lead person. I gotta get good good. That makes you feel better yet and if you want to if there is lead- and you want to get the let out- you're gonna have to hire someone that no

they're doing an area will come in with their hazmat sits on to do so right, so you can also get it from plumbing, although apparently with lead plumbing, if not quite as much of a threat, as you would You know, then, that make you just want to like never drink water. Again, knowing that you have lead pipes in your house, you shouldn't necessarily be worried because over the years that water, sanitation experts have figured out that, if you have good water, nine corrosive. It actually is not only non corrosive, the water will leave behind a protective coding that coats, the inside of the pipes, runs through over the lead? Yes, nice over whatever it is for you, gonna leave. A protective coat of other substances that are toxic. Goods cannot form a barrier, for later water and the pipe threat, and so you should necessarily be freaked out. If you have,

lead pipes coming in your house, a row I mean it, you get the money is. There is definitely worse things. You could spend more money on them replacing those pipes. There lived a wet, copper, pvc. Cool copper can be a problem as well. There is actually a copper led rule there that dictates how non corrosive cities water has to be right to follow this rule and its protecting that in slow, but comprehend really want copper either of those not nearly every is less interesting. So You have led in your system. Mina goes it doesn't your bloodstream with it matter: how gets, in their view, inhale it it'll be absorbed, the areas in the lungs into the blood or few, if you'd be liquor, touch it. If you like it, it's gonna find its way into Europe And you get em, it's really easy to find out. If you have led in your blood, you just get a blood test. I don't know why they would do this

I don't hear and not just a blood test unless it's like prohibitively expensive or something so there you have. The other test is called the zinc protein poor for him test and that's a by product of red blood cells is breakdown in the presence of lead, so rather than directly testing and dining at either you're like going around to see, excuse me lead, I wanna see if your shadow yellow is detectable and I'll get it makes zero says you gotta check your boy for that too right and it's not as accurate yeah, doesn't make any sense there, but that the white blood. As the so easy that numb companies like three m in plenty of others, cell home, led blood tests yeah it is nice, and why should I who is freaked out, giving wonder your kid Lester,

anything over equal to or greater than five micrograms per deciliter is bad. If you're a kid you an adult, you can tolerate a little bit more, but it still distressing right in this house expressive from a microgram to deciliter, which is what a tenth of a leader right arm, and so five is not good. Ten micrograms in a deciliter is where demonstrable like behavioral and cognitive problem started to develop the other serious trouble, but the

he said that there is quote no demonstrated safe concentration of lead in blood like we shouldn't have any right. The problem is nothing but toxic to humans. There is no benefit yeah and we'll talk about. The second put the problem with lead is that we're figuring out that we shouldn't be exposed to it at all, while we're also simultaneously figuring out that we have a washed our planet in a year from the last like couple hundred years. Basically, there you'll take a break, yeah. I will come back, we'll talk about the kinds of fun stuff.

Hey, I'm Andy! If you don't know me, it's probably because I'm not famous, but I did start immense grooming company called Harry's. The idea for Harry's came out of a frustrating experience. I had buying razor blades. Most brands were overpriced over designed and out of touch at Harry's. Our approaches, simple. Here's our secret we make sharp, durable, blades and sell them an honest prices for as long as two dollars. Each we care about quality, so much that we do some crazy things like by world class. German blade factory Obsessing over every detail means were confident and offering a hundred percent quality guarantee millions of as I already made the switch to Harry's. So thank you. If you're one of them and if you're not, we hope you give us a try with the special

or get a hairy start or set with a five blade, razor waited handle shave, Joe and travel cover, offer just three bucks, plus free shipping just go to Harry's dot com and enter for four. Four. Four at check out: that's Harry's dot com code for four four or enjoy, or so before. I left ideas that there is no point, in four led in the body. It is nothing but toxic in it. The way it behaves in your body in a negative way is really interesting. Your body, and this happens a lot. If you look, we covered the body mistaking something for something else, quite a bit there. There should be a word for that. The case of mistaken identity, but I guess it set up at the bar.

He treats levy calcium, so it's gonna go where calcium goes in the body, including your bones, which is super scary, lead, settles in very comfortably into calcium receptors, and it's not just bones like that's what I always think of when I think of calcium you're going any calcium casual. The breaking rickets, if you don't have it or whatever but calcium, comes in handy throughout your whole body and one of the big places it shows up is calcium icons in your neural activity riot. So when you neurons fire one of the ways that they fire is has the neurons you or the calcium I'll, get him all excited and do your neurons is fired, if led, isn't that calcium eye on channel instead of calcium? That issue happen and all of a sudden, your neurons are firing as much as they would. If the lead wasn't present, and now we have a big problem here and it's especially big problem. With children because children's little brain

you know we talked about plasticity before their content, forming these new of neural connections and any kind of lead in a mistaken for calcium is gonna, disrupt those connections and so your child is literally their brain, isn't to advance like it should write exactly intellectually the apparently, no centres like the amygdala can suffer the it's been found to produce hyperactivity, anti social behaviour, attention deficit disorder, all sorts of problems from the presence of lead right, and it, like you, said it worse for kids, because their brains are still developing informing it's bad for anybody, but it's definitely worse for kids. The other way that it affects kids, that so that the regions are their brains are developing correctly. But then, Simon

Lastly, calcium is also important in the formation of mile in which is that prison directive sheath around the synopsis between neuron. Yet so that's kind of like flimsy, which means it neurons are firing efficiently. So not only do you have brain regions affected, but the communication between brain regions are affected to in little kids, and the upshot is: is there in promotes all sorts of problems, with cognitive and an emotional and behavioral development in children. Yet, unlike really lower iq source, and we should say this: let's just like the most prominent horrifying where there is a whole laundry list of other things that can happen to, like I'm kidney failure. Pain in your bones and joint from all that lead settling into where the calcium supposed to go near about decree sex, drive and sterility in infertility for both men and women. What else diarrhoea lack of appetite constipation, I think diary is the least

your worries. If you like Little Anthony high blood pressure enlarged heart, it is its effects, virtually every system The reason why again is because it mimics or takes the place of calcium and calcium is incredibly vital. It's an extremely important mineral that you need throughout your body and if a legacy of here instead a second and do the stuff to the calcium, specifically leading all this cascade of horror problems here and one of the other scary things is it day. Unless you have acute lead, poisoning You may not know, in fact you probably won't know that you're being slowly poisoned and you might think. Oh, I have diarrhea and I don't feel like having sex much anymore right and you might be slowly getting. Let boil you were you just plain that on two main buffalo wings, but lead poisoning Shakespeare, both shirt, you remember Vienna kid like lead. Pencils like it was a big scare like in the yet lead poisoning.

Get back to the pencil yeah. I remember that, but then I also remember learning that is actually graphite used in pencil. You wish, should have a by our age David reason oh yeah, how to sharpen a pencil Mary Higgins School. You want some pencils, you wrote a whole book and literally wrote the book on pencil sharpening yeah. I still have letter, I guess graphite somewhere, and from when I was jabbed very deep with a pencil that broke off, and had never left in. There still looks like little black freckle figure in prison and got shanks, and I can't find where is achieved and B. I see everything. Now it's a scratch your track, so we about all the cognitive problems that can come about and behavioral in emotional disorders that can develop from Latin, and this is like study after study after study is found. This So one of the big reasons why there been so many restrictions placed on lead exposure and

Recently, some people have, with some researchers, including a couple well at an economist I, if an epidemiological have, can it taken their idea that lead can create all of these behavioral problems in any social behavioral problems and extrapolated to this idea that there is a big rock eyes in the crime rate in the United States and actually around the world that followed about twenty years, the same trajectory of the use of lead and gasoline yeah super interest article very controversial like when it can't, whilst still is but yeah, has very interesting it's called led America's real criminal element is a mother Jones is written by Kevin Drama is one of the all time great working today, and down? I think I mentioned it before, but I strongly encourage anybody. Doesn't it

matter of lead, the most boring thing in the world to you, girl read this article. You will just be riveted by it and Kevin John. Does a lot of heat, he does a very good job of keeping his extrapolations down as low as possible although anybody can see by the evidence that he lays out there this. Is it pretty here that lead as some sort of culprit in this, and it's been shot down in that there's. This idea that they, the science, is settled. I suspect it is the same mechanisms that force with climate than Isle of Sun. Settle science then prove anything, If you look at all the studies associated with this year, the correlation between led use, ethylene and therefore lead emissions in cargo and criminal activity and its decline again is as follows. It like twenty years after the whole idea is that we

we started emitting led into the atmosphere. Kid started suffering these cognitive and antisocial behaviors. And then about twenty years after these kids were born, deserted, actually carrying out criminal activity, we saw a tremendous rise in everything from like murdered or raped muggings that everything in the articles two longed it really go into again, I strongly urge anybody go read it yet. The. The backlash that I've seen on the article was it to me like. There was often scientists, mainly yeah you haven't, they weren't pulling the notion. They said this. What this means is that there is a lot more investigation, but as much as you want, if you can't replicate it, it's still past we're confirmation by us or just sure correlation and not causation like could be a host of other. Is it went into that it could be encouraged to make. The same point is like you. There is also a rise in the use of vinyl albums that followed roughly the same

factory is well aware that you know I, of course it needs more study for sure this this one scientists said what you really need to do is follow what he calls a cohort study when you, actually our individual right along a long time line. There is just a tough study its a bit. It bears a lot of it to prove something like this. Just takes a lot more data than they have right and I think the guy- things got Firestone. Who is yet? I wanna get our who wrote I'm they discover magazine blog and you know he gives kudos to drum who definitely deserves it. For basically saying every time he says you know it's is it's so obvious he carried out have to be honest with you. Now have your head in the sand or to deny this he does say that, yes, speaking scientifically, it does require more

study sooner interesting. Milk is a crime and in drum I would add all over the world. He didn't go the United States- and I saw the same thing in Canada and us in great Britain, and the Good NEWS is. If, if that is the case, then we should seek crime. Dropping for we have for ever. But the problem is that it also should get us to do basically mean The lead that isn't around like in the soil and in the water and everywhere in people's houses and the dollar amounts that he estimated cost are pretty prohibitive, at least as far as like them public will goes from right. Now, but who knows I mean if enough science has done on it and you get the scientific community vocally speaking about this, the maybe the public will will change you. If you do have lead poisoning, are you can get on met their suppression,

She called system. As you see I am here, I was beautiful. It's here that our supper, I like cancer, It can reduce blood, lead there, of course, always side effects with every medication. And if you work, if you like, if there's been a disaster- and you get toxic lead in your body very quickly, they can you suddenly called Helen Keller. Collation collation therapy and that's when they use a collating agent among and try that unskilled lives easier. I thought Diane Mean TAT, church, ascetic acid, in advance If you buy a true that, like super quick, I missed the last a button just a few letters off from Super qualified, realistic Shakespeare media. It looks like the alpha,

when its paper, but look I e that's what it's infused into the bloodstream and actually binds the basically says led you're coming with He threw out get me out of your body right, but they use that when it's just an acute toxic, those that the persons been exposed to a kid been found to be poisoned with lead. Actually, from what I read, one of the best treatment that they'll they'll care, though the others have to, depending on how bad it is, but a really good, nutritious die I'm giving the kid foods that are high and things like calcium and high in things like vitamin c that helped the body absorb calcium so that they can go displace lead here in the body, because you got lead and you got calcium fighting for the for the same place. Thing

calcium, in their it's gonna displaced? The Lebanon, hopefully leave the body introduced, are gone, gone home. That's gonna be hard on the kidney, so I don't hate you. I think if you have an acute lead, poisoning or serious lead poisoning. Is it's not good, but yeah, of course, would be hard on. The Kinnock is one of the things. The kidney failure then anemia exactly now lead is lead, is invariably in the ground and groundwater, and then the soil around us and that's a problem because it sort of works its way up the food chain. And a weird way, because what you have these tiny organisms, it gets in their body like plankton and microscopic plants and they die, and then other things eat that

their way. And then it s sort of like a bigger animals come along keep eating things he had such as humans. They suffer from led toxicity, other animals to even the small ones. So should we talk about, these went lost its little yeah and then it'll artists and hopefully yap with nine attacks against allotted if it depends on who manufactured and so did some reading on the lawsuits right now, there's more than a dozen and probably growing, I'm sure Furthermore, class action suits on behalf of tens of thousands of flint residents, and you know always look there chops when they hear stuff like this, but there's some concerns. One is that the state again is like the city is broke, so don't even bother the state of Michigan, maybe and about to go. If you want to get a lot of money, but then they say that I'm just get pacts as long as the taxpayer, a lot of experts in the legal world said it compensate

it is unlikely to begin with. As far as money goes because of something couple things one called sovereign immunity, which basically means I can say you know giving water the citizens is a core government function, so we're shielded legally from liability for doing that and properly. So I can't see us we're trying to give U water and the other thing is specific. Causation has proved so. Not only do you have to prove that the lad came from that water and not like the lead pipes in your house or other like the lead paint in your walls, maybe has to come specifically from that Flint River water. And you also have to prove that that directly led to the problem that your kid is having and not other things will be. One of the things I read was that It is very possible that the lead came from the pipes in those people's houses, but that it still

on the provider of the water because they were supposed to be following corrosion protection technique that they lied about following they weren't following I'm, so it got rid of that protective holding that had been on the lead pipes before and was bringing that led into people's homes directly, so it have been led from the people's homes, but it was the corrosive nature of the of all drinking water, that being pumped through those that cause that lead to be brought into the people's homes and then again, on top of it the the government was lying about using the techniques that they were supposed to be using to prevent that from happening, so that now that they switch back over to Detroit yet water, it's gonna, take a while for that protective filled, the develop on the pipes again bright, so even now that the different waters coming through its still lousy with led. The sad thing is that some people in Flint

you poor to do anything about it. It s still need waters too, there's still drinking leaded water, even though they know that it's going to hurt them down the line, while in itself That sounds like getting real. Compensation is maybe unlikely yeah, because a lot of these people who have kids like if their kids suffer severe cognitive development problems? They really need help like the rest of their lives, yeah, this one guy he's a law. Professor does, rising in environment alone. In no aha, he says what the probably the smart thing to do. If you really want to help these people said, do what they

with the deepwater horizon spill and set up a victim's compensation fund. Instead of doing it, veal lawsuit, like legislate, legislated sure. Maybe that would help honour Nan honour their. He basically said what the state shouldn't do his fight. This he's like that, would be big trouble. He said they should set up some sort of fund, so then they look like the good guy, still but then I think you don't get all the dirty details dragged out. Public yeah, like you, would, with, alas, loved apparently there already coming out anyway, like troves of emails and released the tat. The governor set up a task force. Find out who is to blame and they turned around and they were like you and he sat by the tail. Alright, exactly you're fired the item it can happen, that is its very scary. Public healthcare flint. The talk about a city has been wrapped up over the years. I know what were there with you.

Hang in there. If you want to learn more about lead or fled for criminal activity, you check out all these different articles on the internet- and you can type led never search bar- has the words that common opening up pretty great article, since I said pretty articles typewriter listener I'm gonna call this. Finland rules really did the dark money broadcast and I was like what's a good place, not remember, we are from a lot of people inside, Maybe I'm an american living in Helsinki, the last four years with my finnish husband fuck. You are right on the money when you sit, there is very little political corruption here for some, but because they are humans, but the level compared to the states is laughable. When ass, my husband about it, you thought for a second asked about corruption scandals. He said a few years back There was something about a prime minister accepted lumber from a company to tell this house that was, it seems

gotta be considering the states in an election year, and also the campaigns is much shorter. Uranus tunnel different party runs there at least five major parties, that's crazy and himself a party runs in whichever gets a majority elects from its ranks the Prime minister and makes a cabinet. Out of a coalition of the other parties which receive high numbers of boats about that. Like you came in second year, or do and they all my pen, here's your participant. Ribbon. Campaigns are paid for by disclosed donations and public funds a comment about the high taxes here, many Usually Americans say that with the states that the taxes are so high, come to think very highly of it. I have discovered that I don't really need another view of genes or in a jacket, but I need to get a society around me and access to quality healthcare. They truly,

a where everyone is Satan. Hazard basic needs met that is from Gabrielle. While why do people hate your guts for saying Gabrielle, so brave of you thanks Gabrielle forever and I don't know how they say- adios in Finland now she's american, well goodbye.
