Lead Gas Predominant Source of Lead Exposure in Latter 20th Century

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University find that leaded
gasoline was responsible for about two-thirds of toxic lead that
children in Cleveland ingested or inhaled during the
latter two-thirds of the 20th century.

The researchers say what they've shown in Cleveland probably applies
to many cities across the U.S. and reinforces concerns about the
health threat for children in countries still using leaded gasoline.

This tells us the manufacturers of gasoline polluted us. My questions are was the pollution limited to lead or are there other dangerous pollutants in gasoline? Is there any atmosphere from times before automobiles available for testing or perhaps another procedure for testing past atmosphere by looking at the dead (all species)? And has anyone captured and isolated any present atmosphere for testing int the future?

So the people who were exposed in the 1970's from the gas fumes- what can the big brain neuroscience guy do for them? Chelation? Anything? They can sue someone? What?
