captured en passant over NPR; missed attribution:

In a US study, IQs (in children) dropped 7 points as measured Pb levels in water rose from 1 --> 10 \ufffdgm/liter.

Dunno how selective is Pb for "IQ" VS other heavy metals of similar valence (say). Wonder when last assay of the average Iraqi's water was done - for anything.. or will be, next.

Ah well.. who *really* wants to know? Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Perle, Kristol ... RNC, DNC, OSHA

Nahhh.
