Plumbum pt.2 - Effect
Overview
In today’s episode we’re looking at the cascading effects of lead poisoning across all of our societies. How this silent social destroyer accumulates, as it does in our bodies, across our social structures. The lifelong brain-damage our affected children will need continual support with. The correlation and now causation lead poisoning has with national violent crime states and if that doesn’t mess your head up enough, we’ve kept some of the worst stats for last.
