LifeScience Moment: The Environmental Protection Agency required the phase-out of lead in gasoline.
On Nov. 28, 1973 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Russell E. Train
announced the promulgation of final regulations to protect public health by reducing the
amount of lead in all grades of gasoline. The EPA was established by President Richard Nixon on
Dec. 2, 1970.

were over-exposed to lead through a combination of sources including food, water,
air, leaded paint, and dust. The total amount of lead used in gasoline amounted to
well over 200,000 tons a year.
