They might be thinking of nuclear bomb testing that went into the 90s. I wouldn't be surprised if that was associated with various health issues, too.

No I googled it, they're correct. Lead in gas was outlawed in the 90' but they started phasing it out starting in the 70's. I started driving in '84 and don't recall ever having a choice but my memory is fallible
