New research suggests that lead pollution probably led to widespread declines in IQ in ancient Rome. It's interesting, I guess. Scientists looked at pollution records in Arctic ice to connect lead exposure to cognitive issues in the past. Apparently, even low levels of lead can mess with brain development in kids. This study adds to what we know about lead's impact on the European population back then. Just another reminder of how pollution can affect us, I suppose.
