    No, just gen Z. Even a large number of the Millennial population were fairly exposed. Millennial generation starts in 1981, leaded gas didn’t become illegal to sell until 1992. And Chernobyl happened in 1986.

      Oh that’s right, Chernobyl! There were staggered end dates to the sale of leaded gas though, so the years will vary more or less by continent. Nevertheless, your point remains valid even if the lead pollution was at its peak in the 1970s.
