I completely agree we must eliminate all pollutants possible in NEO - I am for shutting down Mittal and all industrial enterprises that harm the region more than they may possibly help (jobs may not be traded for cancer, in a civilized economy).
I am for conservation, to reduce energy consumption, to reduce pollutants.
We must correct the harms of sprawl, to reduce vehicle pollution.
Lead is a pollutant from industry and energyproduction that may be reduced through such practices...
But none of that may be confused with the lead poisoning crisis in NEO, which is largely related to the 400,000+ lead contaminated buildings in Cuyahoga County, plus other lead contaminated buildings in other area counties, urban and rural.

Getting back to industrial pollution here... I chose to live as far away from the causes as I may, and still be "urban", so I moved from Ohio City to East Cleveland. Consider how near you live to the follwoing, from my Mittal posting linked above...

So here was the cost to real NEO in 2003 for the 1,200 "good" jobs that came from all the politicing, and town halling, and backroom dealing, and foreign venture capitaling, per job, in 2003 - and for 2004 we know "the asthma and cancer-causing pollution has risen over 30% from 2003 to 2004" so it is imaginable the results are much worse today, in 2006:

•  72,500 pounds of air pollution spewed upon our neighborhoods per Mittal employee, in 2003
• ... that's 31.25 tons of air pollution per employee in 2003
• 83.3 pounds of pollution discharged into the Cuyahoga River and so Lake Erie per employee in 2003
• 1 acre of land kept out of clean, sustainable development per employee
• ... that's 43,560 square feet of blight per employee
