First of all, it is important to note that lead-based paint (outlawed in the U.S. for residential use in 1978), without interruption, is not harmful to humans. It is when this paint is "interrupted" (e.g., chipped, peeled, scratched, in dust, etc.) that it can become harmful to humans.
But, it should acknowledged that lead-based paint is surely not the only source of lead in Baltimore, or elsewhere. In fact, lead in some has been around and in use in the world since at least 200 B. C. In fact, in about 200 B. C. lead poisoning symptoms ( due to ingestion of lead carbonate, aka " white lead") were described in patients by Greek physician Nikaner. During the Roman Empire, wealthy Romans and others deliberately and intentionally added lead to their wine to sweeten it. Some historians say this addition of lead to wine by the Romans contributed to the decline and eventual death of that empire. Lead(Pb) is not able to dissolve in water or wine or any other liquid, or biodegrade, dissipate, decay, or burn ---therefore making it an extremely harmful hazard.
An estimated 10 million metric tons or more of lead residue is in the environment, including:
the air we breathe, the water we drink, soil, pipes and other plumbing, certain food products, plastics, ceramics, pottery, et al. < see more>
