Clean Highways and Water! (August 2008)
An End to Lead Wheel Balancing Weights in California.
Written by Caroline Cox
Published by Center for Environmental Health.
This report announces a ground-breaking agreement to end the use of a common but not well-known lead product in California — wheel balancing weights.
Lead is a stunningly toxic metal. A long list of problems has been linked to lead exposure: lowered intelligence, behavior problems, cancer, strokes, high blood pressure, kidney problems, anemia, cavities, and delayed puberty. Children are particularly susceptible to lead’s toxic effects.
