    They are all an issue. Just because someone mentions one thing it does not mean the other things aren’t an issue also. If I tell you leaded race car fuel is an issue and should be banned, I am not telling you all other uses of exhausted lead are fine, or even “lees bad”. The post did but appear to be in any way constructed as an comparative analysis of lead use in order to author regulation from.

      My point is that it’s likely the absolute smallest subset of use. There’s also a functional reason it’s used in race cars. Same is true of avgas.

      There isn’t one for it being used in ammunition, for instance, which is simply a preference

          Probably not, since everyone seems to have their minds made up, but it’s an antiknock agent. It can increase power output, but it also increases efficiency.
