weapons laced with #toxicmetals and #depleteduranium have turned cities razed by war into #biohazards

I wonder if the #MAGA folks have been effected by this too

There is the documented exposure to #leadpoisoning or #leadexposure in shooting ranges (especially indoor ones)

Target Shooting Could Be Causing Brain Injuries. We Measured the Danger.
Nov. 3, 2025

Every day, thousands of people use indoor gun ranges that are designed to limit the hazards of target shooting, including lead exposure and stray bullets. But shooting indoors poses another hazard that has been almost entirely overlooked: Concussive blast waves that can damage the brain.

Evidence has emerged from the U.S. military that firing some military weapons can damage brain cells, and repeated exposure may cause permanent injuries. But there is next to no public information about the strength of the blast waves delivered by civilian firearms, or the potential hazard.

So The New York Times did its own testing, and gathered its own data. Reporters measured the blasts of several popular civilian guns at an indoor range, using the same sensors that the military uses.

The data showed that some large-caliber civilian rifles delivered a blast wave that exceeds what the military says is safe for the brain, and firing smaller-caliber guns repeatedly could quickly add up to potentially harmful exposure. ⭕The data also showed that indoor shooting ranges designed to make shooting safe inadvertently make blast exposure worse — doubling and sometimes tripling the amplitude of the blast.

There is that problem of lead at the range

Maybe that's why we're MAGA?

#RecyclingLead for U.S. Car Batteries Is #Poisoning People

By Peter S. Goodman, Will Fitzgibbon and Samuel Granados Visuals by Finbarr O’Reilly and Carmen Abd Ali
Nov. 18, 2025

Excerpt: "The #AutoIndustry touts #BatteryRecycling as an environmental success story. Lead from old batteries, when recycled cleanly and safely, can be melted down and reused again and again with minimal pollution.

"But companies have rejected proposals to use only lead that is certified as safely produced. Automakers have excluded lead from their #environmental policies.
Battery makers rely on the assurances of trading companies that lead is recycled cleanly. These intermediaries rely on perfunctory audits that make recommendations, not demands.

"The industry, in effect, built a global supply system in which everyone involved can say someone else is responsible for oversight.

"#Nigeria, the economic engine of West Africa, is among the fastest-growing sources of recycled lead for American companies."

No level of lead exposure is safe. Look out for the early signs of lead exposure to prevent long-term health impacts. Learn how you can protect yourself and your family from lead exposure 👉 bit.ly/4hquCHt #LeadPoisoning

International #LeadPoisoning Prevention Week starts today. Leaded fuel was banned around the world in 2021. But lead can still be found in paint used in: 🏡 homes 🚸 schools 🛝 playgrounds 🪀 toys Let’s ban lead in paint. 🔗 bit.ly/4qblGcM

An infographic with the title “FACT: Lead is toxic.” It explains that lead is harmful to everyone and damages the reproductive system, kidneys, liver, blood, and brain. It shows three groups affected:

Young children: most vulnerable because their nervous systems are still developing; they absorb 4–5 times more lead than adults, which can cause intellectual disability, poor school performance, and behavioural issues.

Adults: lead exposure increases the risk of ischemic heart disease and stroke.

Pregnant women: lead exposure damages many organs and affects the developing fetus.

A new study by Consumer Reports claims that some protein powders and shakes contain lead, cadmium and arsenic, all of which have serious health risks at high levels. How much should people worry about this? C. Michael White, a clinical pharmacologist, writes for @TheConversationUS about how the study was conducted, what researchers found, where heavy metals in food are coming from, and how you can limit your exposure.

If you're ever curious why *some* (not all) older ppl seem so stupid sometimes (*lots* of reasons to wonder that), there's a kind of simple answer for at least part of it: **lead contamination**.

It effed up intelligence levels globally on an insane scale.

I highly rec the channel too, it has lots of very informative & educational scientific explorations in an accessible & well-presented way.

I'm also just now realizing I need to add the current date to the URL slug.

I'm also open to ideas for spreading the blog. It's going to have things like reviews, which will have much more obvious hashtags. For this post, I'm not sure what hashtags would make sense.

Roman burial of infant twins in Croatia linked to lead poisoning

In the Croatian coastal town of Trogir, archaeologists have uncovered a haunting burial in the Roman cemetery of Dragulin that sheds light on infant mortality, maternal health, and social customs in the Roman period. The 2016 excavation, which took place during the construction of a private parking lot, revealed the remains of fraternal twin infants – a boy and a girl – who were buried face-to-face. The findings, published in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, have been studied by an international team of researchers...

Well, the roman empire did not fall because of lead poisoning, neither will this be the cause for the fall of the US empire, but it will certainly be a symptom…

The more lead children ingest, the less they'll resist a politician with his pants down and his little politician up high, saluting the flag.

You will do as Republican Donald Trump tells you, because he would never harm a fly.

He hates your kids, though. He wants them poisoned. It's the Nazi way, undesirable non-Aryans.

When will the generals fight back? Shit, they salute, and do the bidding of, the dictatorship.

Sorry, kids. Mommy and daddy are pieces of shit who hate brown people. Too bad it got you, too. Ha ha ha ha. Money!

Don't worry your pretty little head that you'll be addled for the rest of your life by Republican-ordered lead poisoning in your food. If you're white and rich enough, mommy and daddy will buy your way into USC. You'll be POTUS before you know it!

That's the American way! We make broken brains! Then we take your land because a nepo baby decided it wants to take all of your raw materials to make equipment to spy on everyone, lie to us incessantly, and to kill us with increasing efficiency.

There is a reason the guy who ran a sex ring for the rich, where they fucked little girls and got away with it, flew both Bill Clinton and Donald Trump on his child fuck plane.

It's a big club, and you ain't in it. You don't have the money to pay to fuck little boys and girls, and you lack the power to murder Epstein and get your hands on his records.

Hi, Prince Andrew! How's it hangin'? Or is it?

#CDC can no longer help prevent lead poisoning in children, state officials say

Amid the brutal cuts across the federal government under the #Trump administration, perhaps one of the most gutting is the loss of experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who respond to lead poisoning in children.
