A study published Wednesday revealed that gasoline containing lead was the direct cause of 150 million cases of mental illness in the United States.
The study published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry indicated that lead exposure had a far greater effect on the mental health of Americans than previously thought.
âMental health in America was likely significantly influenced by Americansâ exposure to lead over the past century,â Aaron Reuben, a co-author of the study and a postdoctoral scholar in neuropsychology at Duke University and the Medical University of South Carolina, told the Washington Examiner.
