Reply to comment by limitless__ in Does living in an airplane flight path, near an airport, pose a health risk? What happens to the lead from the jets fuel? by [deleted]

There’s already a non-leading alternate for 100LL AVGAS. As other people have stated, most really rich people do not fly in piston aircraft; they fly in jets which use a non-leaded diesel like fuel Jet-A. The new fuel has to be widely adopted, reach scale to reduce price, or there has to be a law outlawing leaded fuel in GA aircraft. We have laws banning leaded fuel for cars so creating a new law isn’t that far fetched.
