Further... there appears to be a small mistake in the article. Or
maybe it's just a detail that got left out: They mention the banning
of white lead as a pigment in the '70s. That's only partially true.
White lead continues to be in common use for industrial applications.
Paint used for machinery, for instance.
Whup. Mistake is mine. I missed where they said that lead-chromate pigments
are still in use for automotive application. Probably was lead-chromate
that HIT used, not white lead.
