In the last year, how many tons of lead ended up in solder? And how much has gone into fuels (especially aviation fuel)?

- sokoloff 3y agoThe EPA estimate for avgas is roughly 500-600 tons of lead annually (depending on the exact estimation factors used). I found an estimate of lead from e-waste (all sources of lead, not just solder) being 58,000 tons per year, roughly 100x the avgas figure.
