lead from sports in environment how to adapt a .177 BB to a pelletrifle; no lead pollution of land
Al wrote: (snipped) 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. Al 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.
