You love the smell, but you don't realize what its doing to you!.
Read below:
Lead is poisonous in all forms; the poison is cumulative and the toxic effects are many and severe. Ingestion of a large amount of any soluble lead salt or organo-lead compound (eg lead nitrate, lead oxide, lead sulfate, tetraethyl lead) may cause (in increasingly higher doses) poor appetite, nausea, pain, leg cramps, muscle weakness, damage to the brain, kidneys and reproductive organs, and death. Behaviour effects can include mood changes, disturbed sleep, memory loss, and poor attention span. Lead and lead-containing compounds are especially dangerous to the health of children and the unborn child. Young children exposed to lead and lead compounds can experience a decrease in intelligence scores, learning difficulties, slow growth and defective hearing. Lead exposure during pregnancy can contribute to premature birth, low birthweight and abortion. Lead chromate is classified by the NOHSC as a category 2 carcinogen (substance that should be regarded as if it is carcinogenic to humans).
Gasoline and diesel contain the compound tetraethyl lead, which issued to raise the octane rating of the fuel and as an anti-knocking agent in the engine. This compound is particularly dangerous since it can be absorbed directly through the skin. Tetraethyl lead has been responsible for severe lead poisoning of gas station attendants and refinery workers. We found out that lead inhaled shortens memory and attention span and may cause digestive problems. Other serious problems that adults might come across are high blood pressure and nervous disorders .
