Why would you make outrageous statements like this, "It only takes 7 days for a discarded wheel weight to COMPLETELY CORRODE and contaminate our environment"? I have to wonder what your hidden agenda is when you make up the most absurd lie I've ever heard and try to get others to believe it.

"It only takes 7 days for a discarded wheel weight to COMPLETELY CORRODE and contaminate our environment" - Why would you make a claim like this? Unfortunately, you just lost your credibility. Also, lead does not dissolve in water, that's why we had lead pipes for many centuries, and people were rarely poisoned by them. You can research this as fact.
