[@rustyshackleford7082]

Lead was used in many things, including pesticides. I bought a very old house and on a shelf in the basement was an open box of a powder labeled, "Arsenic of Lead," known today as Lead Arsenate. It was used mainly as a spray for fruit trees. I called the chemical company that was the sucessor to the now defunct division that made it, and under the chemical industry's voluntary cradle to grave responsibility they sent a hazmat team to my house and sent it to a hazmat waste incinerator.

[@tomh-ph3dp]

I absolutely did not know this. That's remarkable that they do that.

[@katyc.8663]

I think I might need to know the company name because we only hear of irresponsible companies and not enough about the responsible ones. Also, I can imagine it was a highly effective pesticide.

[@jonathanwoods9903]

@@ladamyre1 They used lead chromate because it's bright yellow. Mold doesn't grow on inorganic materials like steel busses and lead paint. Lead also isn't fully banned from being used in paint, and lead chromate specifically is still widely used for stuff like road paint. They stopped using it for busses cause kids are dumb and eat stuff like paint chips. I also can't find anything that mentions mercury in modern school bus yellow.

​@@me0wmix884 it was pretty clear she was talking about Lead, not the color specifically.

[@Big-lron]

Lead paint was used for hundreds of years tho its not unique to school busses. Hell in the 60s they used lead as body filler and to fill in seams from the factory and let's not forget that from about the 1910s until 90s they used leaded gasoline. Actually they still use leaded gasoline as avgas for piston planes. Now that being said you can actually touch lead without it hurting you but the problem is swallowing it or inhaling the dust.

[@mfbfreak]

It varies per application whether it's dangerous or not. Lead as body filler is pretty solid material and won't leech off. Lead as paint will slowly leech off because the binder degrades in sunlight and heat. Also, sanding an entire bus for repainting is just a horrifying idea. There's also some good news w.r.t. avgas - a new, fully lead free fuel has been approved for general aviation piston engines! Personally, i still work a lot with lead containing solder for electronics, because i work on a lot of old devices and using lead free solder on parts that contain trace amounts of lead solder doesn't work. But as you say, touching it is safe and not a whole lot evaporates when you solder. The smoke is rosin flux (which in itself is harmful to the lungs, always ventilate well)

[@Landoftheignorant]

The cool thing about lead paint? It’s near indestructible. Also, tastes like sweet tarts. Which is why it was banned from use on window ledges Initially, then in 1978, outlawed for private use altogether.

Almost everything was painted with lead based paints back then, especially wood and metal surfaces. In fact, one of the ways collectors check to see if something from that era is original is checking to see if the paint has lead in it. No lead=modern repaint.

[@lordpalandus11]

Technically it depends on the lead and how it is absorbed. Handling lead metal for example, won't cause you to get lead poisoning. Otherwise, anyone working in nuclear reactors, with huge amounts of lead nearby, would die from lead exposure. Or anyone shot with lead bullets. So, if they had put a layer of primer over the yellow lead paint, in theory, as long as the primer held, it wouldn't be dangerous at all.

[@utakuryukko2023]

There are two problem with that paint: - Lead: heavy metal, neuro toxic - Chromate (and their dimer Dichromate), also known as Hexavalent chromium or CrVI: carcinogenic. The problem is that if lead have been quite successfully removed from many paint formulations, the same can't be said for chromates. They are still heavily used, under very strict conditions, as there is no equivalent.

Zink chromate also is a sacrificial pigment. It prevents rust. It continued to be used in metal primers (don't confuse primer with surfacer). Today's e-coat dip takes the place of it on the OEM level. Refinish uses non chromate acid etch or less common epoxy or epoxy urethane hybrid. Most automotive refinish systems have gotten rid of the lead, nickel and cadnim toners but not all of them. The low or no lead yellows do not cover anywhere near as fast.

Spraying lead paints is almost like suicide unless there's a 20 mph wind blowing it away from a person. But then it contaminates the environment. The safest way to use chrome yellow is suspended in plant based oil. With a Kolinsky brush, preferably a Yarka from Russia or a Rafrael brush from France.
