Is there a source on this, especially globally?
I did a deep research dive into lead poisoning around 4 years ago so I don't remember all the sources I came across, but I still have this one
Thank you comrade!

Leaded gasoline probably plays a large role. There are still some types of planes that still use it today.
> As of 2024, the annual US usage of avgas was 180 million US gallons (680,000 m3),[8] most of which contained lead,[9] and 170,000 aircraft in the US used leaded avgas.
I drive past an small airport every day going to work
At least jet fuel doesn't use lead and it's mostly jets.
