Post subject: Is the gas here unleaded?

My husband just had a comprehensive blood test and it showed elevated lead levels. We can't figure out how that happened; I doubt it's from the paint in our new house (we chose all imported paints), and are wondering if the gasoline/petrol here is leaded or not. Anyone know?

water tubes

Also: how high were the lead levels? How did they measure? Which lab did you use? Might be worth to repeat the tests with another lab.

She is asking.. where does the lead come from that is showing up in the blood test. Probably river seafood. Would be good to supplement with spirulina or some other highly green food and these kind of food have a chelation effect that bonds with metals in your cells and allow the metal to be processed out of your system.
