Delightfully written, knowledgeable and comprehensive, yet recalling Clair Patterson (a man) and his tenacious battle against leaded gas, bless him, fighting the API, fossil fuel and lead industries, which had the ear of government, universities and the NIH. We don't therefore know of Patterson, but he was a hero, I think, on the level of Rachel Carson.
