And you can still buy leaded fuel today decades and decades later due to the "temporary" exemption for airplanes while they implement alternatives (hint - they won't while they can just burn leaded gas).
The problem here is the people burning the leaded gas are not the ones impacted - babies, pregnant women not burning it but impacted by it most significantly. Old guys with $ (average, yes there are amazing young female pilots) flying GA planes but less likely to be impacted.
