We should definitely move away from leaded gasoline and housing should not be allowed to develop near airports. Phrasing the conversation around "showering it over the land below" is to the point of fearmongering. The airplanes burning 100LL today consume gasoline at the same rate as an old pickup truck - they go about 12 miles per gallon. Lead pollution today due to aviation is a fraction of what it was in the past and is unlikely to even be the largest environmental exposure for most children.
