It's a small problem? I read recently that GA accounted for >50% of environmental lead exposure.

Perhaps that's wrong, but I distinctly remember the statistic and it stuck with me.

Source please. All the studies I've read have barely detected higher levels of lead near airports, and are confounded. All the estimates from first principles estimate that it's a very small proportion of population lead exposure, too.
