Lead-safety Message: Researchers use see-thru zebrafish embryos to find out that high lead concentrations in the water cause death for 4 out of 5 fish eggs and even low lead levels cause faster heart beats and bending of the spine. Calcium ion rescue drugs can reverse the damage. Better still… let’s prevent lead pollution of water!
