Abstract
Provides a letter and a response concerning the environmental panic of lead as a poisonous substance. It considers the role engineers should play, which is one which provides the best risk assessments, and which can help prioritize costs and benefit so that our efforts are aimed at the most important problems and not the ones with the most hysteria.<>
