Short story of a geochemist who saved humanity by fighting against oil corporations.
<p>He began a fierce battle with oil corporations.</p>
<p>Patterson was ignored, opposed, and ridiculed for years until, in 1986, all leaded gasoline was phased out of the American market.</p>
<p>Leaded gasoline continued to be distributed in Italy until December 31, 2001, when its sale was substantially banned.</p>
<p>If we are not all poisoned by lead, we owe it to Pat Patterson’s tenacity.</p>
<p>Clair Patterson died in 1995, without receiving any Nobel Prize. Geologists never receive them.</p>
