Unleaded: How Changing Our Gasoline Changed Everything

Beschreibung

Combining environmental history, sociology, and neuroscience, Carrie Nielsen tells the story of how crusading scientists and activists convinced the U.S. government to ban lead additives in leaded gasoline, explores how lead exposure affects the developing brains of children, and reveals how many poor communities and minority communities of color still have face dangerously high lead levels of exposure to lead.
