All About Lead

1. Lead is extracted from ores dug from under-ground mines.
The top producer of lead is Australia, followed by the United States, China, and Canada.
2. In 1989, the Missouri Legislature passed House Bill 321, which was known as the Metallic Minerals Waste Management Act to regulate the waste produced from metals mining.
3. The concerns that humans are dealing with are that Lead if its inhaled or ingested then it can affect humans on a bad level. Lead is hard to get rid of and when it is thrown out in electronics, it causes a real health concern in the wild.
4. In Adults, Lead poisoning can have poor muscle coordination, nerve damage to the sense organs and nerves controlling the body, increased blood pressure, hearing and vision impairment, reproductive problems, and retarded fetal development.
