How about asbestos? As a small child (74 years now) I scraped asbestos covered pipes to watched the white powder fall on my face and hair. Now I have thyroid problems and osteoporosis. Any connections here?

That certainly can have negative effects, but I'm not sure that it would do the same thing as lead or that exposure to it would be as widespread/intense as leaded gasoline/paint.
