Your right that lead is no good for converters, but they did not take it out, they stopped adding it.The only reason why they took out the Lead fuel was that cat converter gets destroy by Lead, but what was added to the unleaded fuel was much more toxic to you and the underground water and do not wash your hands in unleaded because it can get into your blood, it's that toxic. that's why we got E10 you can wash grease and oil of your hands with that because the toxic part E10 took over that position. but i would recommend other things to clean ones hands with.
Then the got rid of engine oil with Zinc in it because it eats cat converters, so roller camshafts came out, because the flat bottom lifters need Zinc to survive.
