Quiso medir la edad de la Tierra y descubrió que respirábamos veneno
For years, Clair Patterson thought his lab was dirty. He changed reagents, cleaned glassware, repeated protocols, and lead kept appearing where it shouldn't. He wanted to measure the age of the Earth and ended up discovering, almost by accident, that half the world had been breathing an invisible poison sold as a safe product for decades. 📚 Recommended books (Amazon affiliate links): 📖 A Short History of Nearly Everything — Bill Bryson https://amzn.to/3RnHB3m Includes several pages dedicated to Patterson and his fight against lead. The best entry point for further exploration. 📖 Merchants of Doubt — Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway https://amzn.to/3QQnCdz How industries fund scientific doubt to delay regulations. The complete pattern of which Patterson was a victim. 📖 Silent Spring — Rachel Carson https://amzn.to/3RlwHv0 The book that launched the modern environmental movement in 1962, paralleling Patterson's battle.
