Several industry groups are protesting the decision by California’s Santa Clara County to ban the sale of 100LL aviation gasoline at two general aviation airports, starting on January 1. In its justification for the move, the county cited a study it sponsored in cooperation with the California Department of Public Health, Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch, indicating “that children proximate to Reid-Hillview Airport present with systematically higher [blood lead levels] net of other measured sources of lead exposure risk, child characteristics, and neighborhood conditions."
