The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.

Counterpoint; y'all breathed aerosolized lead.

Maybe in some cases but I think at least with Xers a lot of the lead was gone already. Not the asbestos though.

Leaded gasoline wasnt phased out completely until 1996 (and its still used in small older aircraft). And the soil around roadways are still quite contaminated. So not gone, just reduced...

I was thinking more in terms of lead paint and you would be hard pressed to find leaded gas even in the eighties.
