What is the common name of the element with the Latin name "Plumbum"?

I am not a number., The measuring device (a bit of lead on a string) is called a plumbob 😀

lisa, in many ways yes because long-term exposure (ingestion, inhalation) is bad for us. It is not used in plumbing anymore and has been removed from petrol/gas. It is still used in roofing as well as other things.

Plumbers are so called because they historically worked with lead pipes.
