- Abstract
"Unleaded: How Changing Our Gasoline Changed Everything" by Carrie Nielsen explores the history and impact of leaded gasoline in the United States. The book highlights the dangers of lead exposure, particularly for children, and the long-lasting effects it has had on individuals and society as a whole. Nielsen discusses the rise and fall of leaded gasoline, as well as the scientific battles and advocacy efforts that led to its eventual phase-out. The book also addresses the racial and spatial disparities in lead exposure and emphasizes the importance of eliminating lead from other sources. Overall, "Unleaded" serves as a cautionary tale of industrial malfeasance and a testament to the progress made in public health.
