Environmentalists expressed alarm about the moves, which, if successful, would in effect prohibit the government from ever requiring lead line replacement in the future, or lowering lead limits.

I read an interesting article about this village in ancient Spain where they produced a lot of cinnabar. The shit was neuro toxic and it's theorized people with high levels were hallucinating and they would use them as visionaries. It's da mercury or whatever.
