Enclosed la an article which will, I think, be of acrt than passing intaroat. It atataa that cartain branda of toothpaste--particularly tha highly acid, fluoridetypa toothpastes--have boon found to dissolve significant faints of load.
In addition, tha paint or lecguer outer decoration on tha load tubes has baan found to contain from 1 to St load. Dr. Cola, our Director of tnviroisaental Health, ha a intoned m that thara hava baan caaaa of both alavatad blood loads and load poiaoning allagadly attributed to children chawing on such tubas as wall aa sating tha leaded toothpaste.
Because of this, and tha likelihood of further publiclty of a highly dsrogatory nature in the popular press, Dr. Cola has bean infonsed by Procter 4 Gamble, SMnufecturara of Crest, tha west popular fluoride-typo pasta, that they will discon tinue use of load tubas.
If you hava suggestions aa to either how wa sight assist Proctar 4 CsMila end tha other lead toothpaste tuba usars in blocking lead migration into tha pasta, or how tha tubas themselves sight be rendered loss toxic--for example by perfecting a tuba with tin layers both inaida and out, wa would appreciate hearing from you.
tinearely,
