We're all still being affected by this to some extent. Effectively by putting it in the gas and burning it, we also spread it though out the environment. Obviously not as bad as rawdawging the fumes themselves like the lead head boomer and genexers, but it's in the dust of the world you live in. You are doing way better than the generations previously. Interestingly, the generations looking to roll back the kind of regulations that protected you are the ones most affected by the lead (boomer, Gen x).
