Lead poisoning - History
Lead was first mined in Turkey about 6500 BC. A 6000- to 8000-year-old necklace was found in the ancient city site of Anatolia. Lead's easy workability, low melting point and corrosion resistance were among its attractions.
Lead toxicity was first recognized as early as 2000 BC. Nikander of Colophon wrote of lead-induced anemia and colic in 250 BC. Gout, prevalent in affluent Rome, is thought to be the result of lead, or leaded, eating and drinking vessels. Lead was also used in makeup.
In 17th-century Germany, an Ulm physician noticed that monks who did not drink wine were healthy, while wine drinkers developed colic. The culprit was a white oxide of lead, litharge, added to sweeten the wine.
Today, most exposure in developed countries is the result of occupational hazards, leaded paint, and leaded gasoline (in the US, phased out in the 1970s).
