Ancient Uses Modern Uses

 The Danger and Effect of Pb

end up in water and soils through corrosion of leaded

For pipelines in a water transporting system and through
corrosion of leaded paints
Environmen Soil functions are disturbed by lead intervention,
tal especially near highways and farmlands, where extreme
concentrations may be present.

Lead can enter (drinking) water through corrosion of

pipes.
For Our Anemia, rising blood pressure, kidney damage, brain
damage and diminished learning abilities of children.
