Funny you should mention this. I did some sampling for lead near highways, didn't really find anything to speak of except for asbestos (from older style brake shoes and pads). Fortunatly lead is one of the more heavy elements and tends to not float about. Seems that the change to unleaded has lowered the lead found near roads.
As for the boomers; I wish they's retire early, destroy SS so that it may finally be "fixed" and let folks who were'nt part of the hippy generation get on with running things.
