* LEAD (Pb) is a malleable, sort of sweet tasting, heavy metal (Atomic # 82) that has been mined and used in large quantities by humans for numerous utilitarian purposes for over 6,000 years. lead does not dissolve in water, nor dissipate, nor decay, nor burn. Lead (Pb) lasts, and lasts, and lasts --- and accumulates. The true amount of lead that has been used in societies over the past 6,000 years varies, but it is estimated by some that the amount of lead residue currently in the environment surpasses 10 million metric tons.
*When lead-based paint was marketed and sold in the United States prior to being banned by the Federal government for residential and other consumer purposes in 1978 (specifically, by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission), it was in great demand because it was washable and durable. It was repeatedly endorsed by the United States, state (including Maryland), and local (including Baltimore) governments, and it was specified for use on government buildings until the mid-1970s. Its use peaked in 1922, and by 1940 the use of "white lead" (basic lead carbonate) pigments for interior paints was essentially on the way out.
* Use of white lead pigments in paints began in Colonial times in in America and ultimately peaked in 1922.
* In 1951, Baltimore City banned the use of lead pigment in interior paint in Baltimore public housing. This was the very first such restriction in the United States by any jurisdiction.
* In 1966, lead paint was banned in all housing in Baltimore.
* Though the vast majority of lead paint and lead poisoning claims and lawsuits in Baltimore have been brought against landlords and landowners of pre-1978 built residential rental units, there are several other sources of toxic lead in the Baltimore environment. Some are as follows: (1) the air we breathe, (2) drinking water, (3) dust, (4) soil, (5) pipes and other plumbing items, (6) job sites and (7) clothes worn at job sites, (8) furniture, (9) furniture, (10) cosmetics,(11) foods, (12) drinks, (13) candies from Mexico, etc., (14) jewelry, (15) hobbies, (16) industrial sites, (16) toys, (17) and numerous other products and sources.
