Professor Derek Bryce-Smith presents his views on Health Hazards from Lead Pollution
As far as lead is concerned there is no other chemical pollutant which has accumulated in man so close to the threshold of clinical poisoning.
About 90 per cent of the lead in the air comes from exhaust fumes of cars. Complete abolition of lead additives to petrol would do more than anything else to reduce our present harmful absorption of lead and the legacy of this insidious poison which we shall be passing on to our children. These views are discussed before an audience at the Royal Institution by Professor Bryce-Smith with a number of people who disagree with his ideas, including representatives of the petroleum and lead industries and medical authorities on lead poisoning.
Introduced by Professor George Porter
