Mortality from other sources of lead is likely still a factor, as I understand it a lot of the building project work removing lead flashings etc is now on a go-slow due to funding availability.
    Either you haven't read and/or don't understand the paper. This study is statistically significant. RNZ did a recent article aimed towards people not familiar with science literature.
