    "Here we reconstruct a 60-year history of lead concentration (lead/calcium) and isotopic composition in a coral from Dongsha Atoll in the northern South China Sea. The record shows a fourfold increase in lead level from 1953 to the mid-2000s, followed by a ~60% decline over the next decade. Shifts in lead isotopic composition suggest a transition from local automotive emissions to more distant industrial emissions, primarily from coal combustion in mainland China after 2000. This industrial source has declined significantly after the mid-2000s in response to stricter air pollution controls. Our findings highlight both the lasting legacy of leaded gasoline and the effectiveness of recent environmental policies in reducing atmospheric lead exposure."

    #Lead #pollution resulted in around 902,000 #deaths in 2019.
    The death toll rose from 855,000 in 2015, deviating from #SDG 3.9 to substantially reduce the number of deaths from #hazardous #chemicals and air, water and soil #pollution by 2030.⛔
