    I couldn’t find a clean and easy graphic showing that, but a quick Google search for “lead poisoning crime rates” unearthed a few recent studies and articles, including a few on the NIH website. It really sucks how there’s a strong residual in the crime rates even when lead concentration drops. Really shows how permanent and contagious the damage really is. Pandora’s box is lined with lead.
