In France lead paint completely disappeared.

But the main driver of criminal behaviour and loss of IQ is lead gasoline you breath all day long anyway and that's nearly gone too. I think Algeria is finally removing it this year, it was one of the last country.

I'm curious as to if Cuba still uses leaded gasoline, as quite a few years ago I spent a night in Havana during a cruise and some sight-seeing around the old city.

I knew that the exhaust of vehicles smelled different from the U.S., or even busy cities in the U.S.

Cuba might not have a choice, thanks to US sanctions.
