Lead is one of the earliest reasons Republicans hated the Environmental Protection Association because implementing systems for processing unleaded automotive fuel cost them money and they will hate you until you die when you cost Big Oil money. It's now decades later and this research validates the effect switching to unleaded fuel has had. (Science Daily: Study of North Atlantic Ocean reveals decline of leaded petrol emissions)
It's enormous the scope they have in the project:
The ocean samples in the new study were collected over a radius spanning thousands of kilometres in an area between the continents of Africa and the Americas. They were collected in 2010 and 2011 as part of the GEOTRACES programs -- an ongoing international effort to study the cycling of various trace metals in the ocean.

Read the article for the details of major science they pursue in their research as our interest is the fact, despite opposition like we wanted to sell the families of Republicans to slave traders, the implementation of the switch over to unleaded fuel has been successful in mitigating a major contaminant.
It's a cool thing to see since usually any environmental laws are for something which will take place fifty years from now but, what do you know, it's been about forty since unleaded fuel came into it and here we are. The scope of the change is the dazzling part since it's the ocean, all the giant of that. Making the Cuyahuga River in Cleveland healthy again is one thing but this is the Atlantic Ocean. Wow.
