Lead paint creates serious health risks, but this ad is from 1939, when lead in paint was normal. Many countries phased in bans starting in the 1970s or 80s, mandating lower and lower concentrations over time, or restricting permissible uses, or both. Some countries still allow unrestricted use of lead paint in 2026.
Lead exposure is very bad for anyone, especially children. Unlike certain other toxins, there's no known safe level of exposure, and it bioaccumulates. There are many other routes into the body besides paint, and some are associated with increased crime rates and intellectual deficits in children.
Yes i was teasing ;)
Lol OK. But there have been many days where a lot of my day was standing in water. I thankfully don't do main breaks but, hydrants make a lot of water lol.
I am amazed that you actually work a lot IN water! i was so sure that is was that wording like "I work in finance" and you work in management of a water treatment plant :))
Lol idk that I'd call it "a lot." Before I recently quit (moved across the country) I had become a lead so, I had people to do the crappy part for me. Although I'm terrible at sitting still so there was often me getting a hydrant wrench and just going for it while my tech was being slow lol. Plus I did a fair amount of things that were much more dry work too.
