Abstract

(Bloomberg) -- The Biden administration on Wednesday declared emissions from airplanes running on leaded aviation fuel a threat to public health - a first step toward stamping out a major source of metal pollution linked to developmental delays, kidney disease and other health concerns. As a result, lead emissions in the air have shrunk 99% since 1980, leaving the roughly 220,000 aging, small planes that rely on aviation gasoline containing the metal as the dominant source of that pollution.
