Summary: Small counterexample

Not all chemicals that our grandfolks used are available to us now.
A couple of counterexamples: mercury and carbon tetrachloride used
to be widely used in, respectively, hattery and dry cleaning, even
at home.  Cases of toxicity were noticed; studies of toxic levels
were done; and now you can't buy those at Mayor Bunsen's hardware
store anymore.
