Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lead is a toxic air pollutant that can cause central nervous system damage and mental impairment, particularly in children.

Asbestos, carbon monoxide, and formaldehyde gas can all have negative health impacts, but they do not specifically target the central nervous system and mental functioning in the same way that lead does.
