Of cause everyone is entitled to their opinion, and while I could jump up-and-down, scream and shout, or whatever, you're free to do exactly what you want to do.
Lead poisoning through eating paint is indeed the most common form of lead poisoning found in children. Therefore, it is the most publicised form of lead poisoning. (note, in Europe 90% of court cases involving lead exposiure concern adults)
This does not mean it is the only form of lead poinsoning, by any means, its just that kids do excersice their jaws on inappropriate surfaces.
Considering the minute amount of lead there used to be in paint, then look at how easy it is for a child to get lead poisoning, and you might get an idea how toxic the stuff is. On top of that, you do not have to eat paint to get lead poisoning, chafing and deteriorating paint make flakes and particles, and that way the lead will do the job as well.
In adults the most common form of lead poisoning is long term exposiure to lead dust. Lead dust is NOT like normal dust. Lead dust is so fine that it will penetrate all but purpose designed dust masks.
I learned about lead through in a number of ways. 2 studio renovation projects I was involved with in Europe had (major) delays and extra costs when inspectors had us call in specialist contractors to remove lead from the studio walls before they allowed us to proceed. One friend of mine in London completely changed over a year time. He lost his hearing and became a lethargic couch patato, the opposite of what he was like. He had moved into a new home with a purpose built 3 room studio just 2 years before. 2 walls of the control room were filled cinder block, lead sheet and 2 layers of drywall. Lots of tests - lead poisoning.
He never fully recovered, has to wear hearing aids, and is, obviously, no longer a mastering engineer.
Another, unrelated event, I used to have a farm in Yorkshire (UK). it was set in a village, the center of the village is a lake. The lake was a bit strange, nothing seemed to live in it. It was re-stocked with fish various times over the years - they died. A lot of waterhen and duck chicks also died every year.
Eventually they had the lake tested - lead poisoning. The source? The lead gutter linings of the church roof, which drained into the lake, and that was all.
Lead used to be a material every studio designed used, and now its use in walls, doors etc is illegal in most countries I know of (the whole of Europe), and everyone used mineral loaded vinyl, which was designed as a lead replacement, with the same acoustical properties.
Before you protest at my mianderings this time, please consider that I'm just taking the time to write this crap because I don't want anyone to get hurt, and that's it. What you make of it, what you use, is your own decission of cause.
