I was reading an item on the ABC site ( http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-04-09/alarming-link-between-lead-exposure-and-violent-crime/4619168 ) about lead pollution and its link with aggressive behavior, reading difficulties, low IQ and mental disorders. I know it is a very serious topic but I couldn’t help wondering if there are any lead smelters near Victoria Park. I have to read more to find out if it affects teeth.

Did you accidently put this in the wrong thread? The Range Rover resignation thread is over yonder....

Just trying to get spirits up.

There are no lead smelters anywhere near Victoria Park.The last suburb to have a lead smelter was in a place called ARDEER (near sunshine,vic)back in the 70's.,it was so bad that people living in surrounding houses

had to abandon their homes,a total disaster.Golf Ball cores made prior to late 70's contain a toxic lead compound. Petrol no longer has lead in it.Pollution derived from cars i.e carbon monoxide,speed, marijuana,heroin

etc, food additives,solvents,smoking,booze,genetics,biological toxins all contribute to mental disorders and are responsible for birth defects........... who cares. The government will pick up the tab.
