Lead: A Toxic Legacy - Dr Ian Mudway
Manage episode 415475643 series 3428921
Evidence that childhood lead exposure caused stunted intelligence and behavioural problems motivated efforts to ban lead in petrol, with the world finally eradicating leaded fuel in 2021.
This is a public health success story, but it took a long time to force industry to take action. The lead released from historic emissions persists within the environment and there is emerging evidence of continuing health effects.
The legacy of lead remains and will be explored in this lecture.
This lecture was recorded by Dr Ian Mudway on 25th March 2024 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London
