Lead-safety Message: Being the most common heavy metal, lead is most often associated today with the dark side of life… a cause of a lowering of population IQ and of early death from all causes. But in the past, people loved the bright yellow, orange, red and green lead pigments in paints that still lead poison unwary DIY renovators today.
