Lead is a metal that occurs naturally in the earth’s crust‚ but human activity‚ such as mining‚ burning fossil fuels and manufacturing‚ has caused it to become more widespread. This element‚ however‚ has no known purpose that can be beneficial for humanity. Rather‚ it is an extremely harmful chemical that can cause serious damage and even potentially death when at high concentrations. Events‚ like the one in Flint‚ Michigan‚ where shortcuts by the government caused serious lead poisoning in the town

Lead and The Environment Some materials are so commonplace that we take them for granted. One of those materials is a grayish metal that has been with us for thousands of years. That metal is lead‚ still one of the world’s most useful substances‚ and one that never ceases to find a role in human society. Lead has the atomic symbol of Pb (for plumbum‚ lead in Latin). The atomic number for lead is 82 and the atomic mass is 207.19 AMU. It melts at about 327.502 oC and boils at 1740 oC. Lead
