Children are most sensitive to lead exposure.

  We're all pretty intolerant of it, focusing on children is a shameless grab for attention.

    https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/lead-poisoning-and-health https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/lead-poison... > Young children are particularly vulnerable to the toxic effects of lead and can suffer profound and permanent adverse health effects, particularly affecting the development of the brain and nervous system. Lead also causes long-term harm in adults, including increased risk of high blood pressure and kidney damage. Exposure of pregnant women to high levels of lead can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth and low birth weight.

    Lead is far more dangerous for children than adults. The 'think of the children' mentality actually does fit here.

      No it doesn't. Lead levels are hardly elevated whatsoever, zero children are actually in any real danger. This is about selling newspapers, not about saving lives, and it's disgusting.
