New research suggests the social cost of a single gram of lead in fuel is more than $1,100. The real cost of dirty air is likely far more than the cost to clean it.
This was amazing to read! So one race has social costs of ~$10M just from the emitted lead? Pretty shocking.
I have one question about the last part. When you say we should filter indoor air, the benefits are for OTHER things like PM2.5, right? I'm guessing that aerosolized lead from combustion is too small for HEPA filters, right? But they could catch lead in other sources like dust.
