Millions of people dying every year from heart attacks related to lead poisoning.
What is worse is it is still happening. Upwards of 5 million people are estimate to die from lead related cardiovascular disease in 2024. Lead poisoning mainly from gasoline has probably accounted for close to a billion deaths on the high end.
They only recently phased it out of cars with no plans to phase out airplanes.
