Quote – Werner T. Meyer, president of the Lead Industries Association. The New York Times.

[A level of 10 micrograms per 100 milliliters of blood is] absolutely safe…There is no national health crisis with regard to lead.

Werner T. Meyer, president of the Lead Industries Association. (This is five years before a study showing that one in five Californian children was adversely affected by lead.) From New York Times, “Expert Faults U.S. Rules on Lead in Drinking Water”, by Philip Shabecoff.
