The whole lead poisoning canard was to explain or come up with excuses of why IQs are lower in the inner city.
It’s total bovine scat.
They took lead out of gas. I wonder how much lead is still in the soil by roadways. Mercury is a natural occurring element in my area and so is radon. Life is terminal so why listen to these nuts.
I need more lead in my diet so I will not ping while climbing the stairs.
It is a well-goooooooooooooooooooooogled paper.
Modern indoor ranges have filtered forced air ventilation with airflow in the downrange direction. Outdoor ranges are a little less controlled, but a lot more open. Gunshot residue on your hands likely contains some lead (from the primer). It’s a good idea (IMO) to wash up before eating/drinking/smoking.
Looks like I’ll have to find something else for target practice.
Precisely.
Yet they fail to cite a single case where a person was poisoned from lead dust.
[They took lead out of gas. I wonder how much lead is still in the soil by roadways.]
Or lead WW’s for that matter. LOL
Been bullet casting for many years now, never an issue with blood tests. Take reasonable precautions like not sucking on the lead ingots or licking the ladle and you’ll be fine.
I should be a drooling imbecile by now. I shot for years at an indoor facility that would not allow jacketed bullets and that had terrible ventilation. After the range sessions if I blew my nose, the tissue would be black.
Outdoor ranges are the best....
But it does show that indoor ranges need to work on ventilation and filtering...
Some of this is worth paying attention to. I shower and change clothes after indoor range time, and at least wash hands and change top garment if shooting long time outdoors.
This was probably another instance of someones brother or cousin getting a high $$$$$$$$.00 grant from the gubmint to do a study. This is a good way to put family and close friends on the gravy train.
“So I guess the solution is to ban lead ammunition?”
No, just use copper-jacketed ammunition. Problem solved!
I believe most shooters follow the same after-range hygiene procedures. That particulate crap gets all over you.
“A few years ago I asked the Doc to do a heavy metals blood panel. Results: no lead exposure above the norm.
The body stores heavy metals. A better measure would be a hair analysis. Or the best analysis would involve EDTA.
That is because by the 70s they were adding toxic flouride to our water and knew it was destroying IQ in our children, since it was known by the Nazi scientists who the Prescott Bush/Harrimans brought into the USA to destroy our AMA, APA and our health and university “research” centers and found NASA. (Harvard study/1912 proves it destroys 7 IQ pts. in children).
Why not get the poisonous flouride OUT of all our water, first, if the “government” is REALLY concerned about dangerous chemicals and keeping our children safe???
(Oh, right, our government is run and controlled by the psychopathic sodomites who are Malthusians at best and want a totalitarian system where we are ALL ignorant, dumb slaves for the elite pedophiles and their billion dollar child/organ sex rings.)
Nuremberg trials stated it is evil for any government to add any medication into water supplies.
Now we know why all the gun nuts voted fo Trump. /sarc
Suppressors catch much of the aersolized gunshot residue:
Obviously we need cheap, legal suppressors NOW..!
Get the government OUT of my gun range, my word...!
Just another sneaky healthcare-related communist attack on the 2nd Amendment...
I question the effects of lead dust being the same as actual lead exposure.
Are there long term studies of those who shot routinely and what their health is. From this papers analysis one could conclude that policemen become dumber the longer they are on the force (hold your snarky comments). It should be easy to do health studies on police and military maybe not so easy on hunters.
I just question the whole rationale of this paper
