Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores lead's historical role as a poison. Starting with its ancient uses, the author traces society's evolving awareness of lead's dangers through the Renaissance and up to present times. The author highlights a previously overlooked aspect of the issue: lead contamination of water. Lead, used for many centuries in plumbing and drinking vessels, can leach into water. The author reveals how this insidious problem caused many lead poisoning deaths in ancient times and still poses risks today. The book insists on the importance of water tests to ensure the safety of one's water sources. If you consume water from a dubious source, getting a water test done will ensure you and your family's safety. There should be no delay, since lead poisoning, if left untreated, will eventually cause irreparable damage to health.
