Question

It would be ineffective to prevent lead poisoning by ____. a. banning candles with lead cores

Answer 1

This is FALSE, because banning candles with lead cores would be an effective way to prevent lead poisoning. Other things that can be done to prevent lead poisoning are banning stuffs like lead glazing on ceramic dishes, and the use of lead solder. It would also be effective to phase out waste incineration.

However, banning the use of led pencils in schools would be ineffective to prevent lead poisoning.
