would like to pass on some information to environmentalists…. “According to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency statistics, between 1970 and 2001, the level of particles in the air fell by 76%, sulfur dioxide by 44%, volatile organic compounds by 38%, and carbon monoxide by 19%. The level of lead in the air - which is particularly harmful to growing children - fell by 98%, mostly due to the use of unleaded gasoline. It’s harder to measure water quality consistently, but the widespread construction of better sewage treatment plants and better provisions for disposing of wastewater made a huge difference over the past four decades.” “The Instant Economist”, Timothy Taylor (2012) He (William) would also like to note that he was one of the “growing children” before 1970 when all the above happened, that he doesn’t feel poisoned, and that he was better off than his parents.
