What is the chemical symbol for lead?
Correct answer: Pb
Taramaiden
PB is a contraction of the Latin word Plumbum, which is what Lead was called. In modern Italian, it's Piombo.

Today we are using carcinogenic make up additives, fake tanning, bleaching skin, nipping & tucking ... so not much has changed lol except of course the use of powdered lead.
