Carburetors have nothing to do with lead emissions. Lead emissions come from lead being added to gas to raise its octane, and hasn't been added for years.

  I might be wrong but as far as i know they were added while there were still lead in the gazoline. Anyway it didn't hurt the normal person it helped them because techonology.

    The first gasoline engines used carburetors, they weren't added after lead was added.

      Sorry i meant catalytic converter (katalysatorer in Danish)

        Catalytic converters are ruined by leaded gasoline, hence the switch to unleaded gas.

          Yes and the question I was answering was what I think the focus on industry changes rather than asking normal people to change did for those people. The point is that the car industry moved on just fine.
