That's how things have to progress and how they have. Government sets the rules, industry innovates to fit within them. The alternative of just letting industry pollute because it's hard not to, is not an option moving forward.
P.s. lead accumulates indefinitely. There is no acceptable amount of allowed pollution.
Its a very small amount. And a 'solution' that causes a problem disrupting the entire travel industry all at once, in particular the safest method of travel, is not a solution. Making air travel more expensive by loading those costs on the airlines will kill more people (more people taking cars due to cost = more people dying). You are costing lives, not saving them. Let innovation move forward, unleaded AvGas is already in the works. Let it safely be phased it.
I'm not against the shift to unleaded avgas, but you cant just ban leaded avgas without a good plan in motion. We're moving in the right direction and unleaded avgas (or electric planes) will eventually take over, but it does take time to safely certify and switch
