Lead poisoning. I know, I know, there are a ton of other hazards we’re exposing ourselves to. We will have our reckoning with things like plastic, but at least lead is something we’re aware of and dealing with.
Along those same lines, ozone layer destroying products.
We might be dealing with lead in some places, but it’s still an ongoing issue. This year alone, there have been issues with applesauce, cinnamon, and other food products being contaminated with lead. Towns in the US, like Flint Michigan, still have endless problems related to it.
It’s a long road before it’ll be dealt with, so 2020 kids are definitely going to experience lead poisoning.
I heard rumours that the new Stanley cup everyone was obsessed with for a week contained lead (not in contact with the inside of the cup, but still, why is lead there at all in 2024)

China producing clothes containing led, and factories in China emiting CFCs were both recently in the news.

Was that rumour ever substantiated?
Flint water wasn’t that long ago.
Unless you live in Flint, Michigan. Or any of these other US Cities
