The term "general aviation" is used to describe a diverse range of aviation activities and includes all segments of the aviation industry except commercial air carriers (including commuter/ regional airlines) and military. Its activities include training of new pilots and pilots interested in additional ratings or certification, sightseeing, movement of large heavy loads by helicopter, flying for personal or business/corporate reasons, and emergency medical services. Its aircraft range from the one-seat single-engine piston aircraft to the long-range corporate jet, and also include gliders and amateur-built aircraft.

I think we need an FAA definition of "general aviation" and some numbers to get an idea of the magnitude of this problem. I assume somewhere it is on the FAA site, but I'm slammed. Does anyone know off hand?

Apparently, general jet and propellor planes use Jet A fuel (similar to kerosene) which does not contain leads. But the private planes have a variety of engines many of them use avgas which contain a lead additive.
