I agree -- I wasn&#x27;t trying to show that there wasn&#x27;t enough affected cases to indicate definitive lead poisoning, just that it&#x27;s likely not nearly as widespread or causing as much damage as is currently being ascribed to it.<p>From the article &quot;4.9 percent of children tested for lead turned out to have elevated levels.&quot; What is &#x27;elevated&#x27;? Is that 30ug&#x2F;dl? or 3ug&#x2F;dl when the average is 2ug&#x2F;dl. When specific information is absent, I generally doubt the accuracy.<p>But I guess that&#x27;s typical news media anyways. If it&#x27;s not bursting in to flames, then it isn&#x27;t news.<p>Edit: added &quot;From the article...&quot;
