Most libertarians favor taxing harmful externalities like this. Ultimately, things like getting lead out of gasoline could happen without regulation just as easily as with it as long as property rights are upheld. The process would involve lawsuits against the company where the plaintiffs demonstrate how the lead in the atmosphere is harmful to their property (their bodies) and produced by the companies. This, along with public awareness/pressure, would likely have just as strong an effect on cleaning up externalities. Companies can't cheat markets
