I started researching this topic with unbridled (and apparently unfounded) optimism, hoping to highlight an example of a public health problem that we handled so well. Instead, I found a bit of a mixed bag: we made quite a bit of progress in handling lead pollution and still managed to fall short.

Brewing #tea removes #lead from #water
High surface area of tea leaves means they adsorb toxic metals released by boiling water.
“We’re not suggesting that everyone starts using tea leaves as a water filter,” said author Vinayak Dravid. “Our goal was to measure tea’s ability to adsorb heavy metals. By quantifying this effect, our work highlights the unrecognized potential for tea consumption to passively contribute to reduced #heavymetal exposure in populations worldwide”

“Sure, any manager can find small savings and improvements, but these kinds of demands are of the size and speed that break down organizations,” he said. “This is not the way to do good for the public or for the public’s health.”

**Late Bronze Age Metal Exploitation and Trade: Sardinia and Cyprus**
“_An array of new provenance studies demonstrates the complexity of the Bronze Age metal trade and, taking a maritime perspective, provides the opportunity to reveal how strategically positioned actors such as Nuragic Sardinia managed to dominate sea-borne routes, and gained a prominent and independent international position._”

When I was young, one manufacturer od #lead #miniatures made a séries of 12 #dragons an a plastic stone with a stand was packed with it. If you collected all #minis , you could build a circle with the stands and were entiteled to a 13th dragon.
I'm old and I think I'd like to finish, collect these. Anyone remembers the brand making these?
That was probably between 1985 and 1991

I'm always amazed at how dense lead is. This little box in the middle of the picture weighs 25 pounds, and it's not even completely filled.

Wow. They are shooting the nuclei of Lead (Pb+82 ions) in the LHC.
"Once a year, the Large Hadron Collider smashes lead ions. But how do scientists get a heavy metal into a particle accelerator?"
