Episode notes
Persistent Lead Harm In Environments
- Lead exposure remains widespread in older buildings and soil near roads and smelters.
- Lead stores in bone and causes long-term white-matter and IQ damage that is hard to reverse.
Smelter Poisoning Turned Into Housing
- Jay described a smelter near Crockett that poisoned grazing hills and caused 100% fatality in animals.
- He noted that those polluted sites later became residential areas, raising concern about redevelopment.
Lead Shows As Delta And Slows Recovery
- Lead exposure increases delta activity on EEG, reflecting white-matter/myelin damage linked to learning disabilities.
- Neurofeedback may help behaviorally but reversing lead-related damage is slow and limited.
