Lead poisoning = lower IQ & educational attainment
poor education & lower IQ = locked out of the labor force and more likely to make bad decisions in life

- jopsen 5y agoYeah, maybe.. but like the blog post says: > Nor are they the kind of study where you round up a hundred undergraduates and perform an experiment on them. Do we have good clinical evidence showing: lead = lower IQ? (I'm guessing nobody volunteered for lead poisoning). Thing is that crime reduction could be cultural, or simple widespread video games :) (Maybe it's a bit everything, and lead probably isn't the only environmental improvement we've made)
