Everything is fiiiiiiiine.... I mean we're only talking about:

Alkylated lead compounds

Polycyclic organic matter (POM)

Mercury

Hexachlorobenzene

Polychlorinated biphenyls(PCB)

2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofurans (TCDF)

2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin

So the cancer rates, neurotoxicity rates, kidney and liver disease rates, and general bad for you vibes might keep happening. Its all for progress right?.... Right?

wtf leaded gasoline is back too? (there are very few other uses for alkyllead compounds and it would be hard to make it accidentally)
