I would guess instantly fatal levels of exposure, if you hang around at the target area during a shoot...
- soundwave106 10y agoThere is that. :) But is true that the CDC lists shooting firearms (target shooting) as the #1 non-occupational source of elevated blood lead levels. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6025a2.htm#tab http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6025a2.htm#tab (It is certainly preventable with proper procedure -- https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2009-136/pdfs/2009-136.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2009-136/pdfs/2009-136.pdf -- but I guess some operators are not aware of the risks, unfortunately.) Lead in solder doesn't even make the CDC's table.
