As far as the "lead (Pb)" world goes, lead has long been considered to be harmful to the human body as an environmental pollutant. In the July 1904 edition of its monthly publication, major paint manufacturer Sherwin Williams reported on the dangers of paint containing lead pigments, citing French researchers' conclusion that lead paint was " poisonous in large degrees, both for workmen as well as inhabitants of houses painted with lead colors" [ " Dangers of White Lead", by Richard Guenther, 02/24/1904, Hathitrust].
Nevertheless, when lead-based paint was marketed and sold (white lead paint was used since Colonial Times) in the area now known as America --- before it was banned by the Federal Government (Consumer Product Safety Commission) in 1978 --- it was a legal product in great demand because it was, inter alia, washable and durable. It was repeatedly endorsed by the Federal, state, and local governments, and specified for use on government buildings until the mid-1970s. In 1951, Baltimore banned the use of lead pigment in interior paint in Baltimore public housing; the first such restriction in the United States. Lead paint was banned for interior use in all housing in Baltimore city.
