Lead in its metallic form is relatively inert. That's why it was being
used in flashing on roofs and in sewer connections. Lead in a breathable
form, like that found in gasoline is dangerous. So is lead paint which
is ingested by rugrats that are not being supervised and chew the
scenery. Lead that is ingested by waterfowl and other creatures is
processed by their guts into a deadly form also. Rememeber, water is
deadly too if it covers your nose for more thatn 10 minutes. Its all in
how you process it.

I do not think there has been enough research as to whether plants uptake
lead. I know that some plants pass off metal contaminants into their fruit
bodies so that peach or apricot or plum pits can contain unwanted metals.
Whether potatoes and onions store lead in their tissue.

I think the horticulture research as to whether and how much lead in the soil
moves through plant tissue is skimpy and flimsy.
