Most U.S. gun owners use lead-based ammunition and primers, and nearly half don’t engage in any post-shooting hygiene behaviors such as changing their clothes or showering, a study found.
Lol all the journal reported was that gun owners report they use lead ammunition. Doesnt say what the exposure risk is if any. I mean they dont even go over the points where exposure from the lead bullet is evident. I mean firing a gun you dont even touch the lead cu its in the brass or plastic (slugs) shell. I could see lead being present in the air following a shot but its not oike youre shooting indoors in most cases so dont shoot into the wind maybe.
The obvious point of conversation i wouldve expected them to look into isnt the firing of lead ammunition, itd be cleaning the gun after shooting but without ever reading or hearing of this ive always used cuz i was taught by older rednecks, to wear rubber gloves cleaning your gun. Prevents skin oils from getting on gun and keeps your hands clean from oil and cleaner used.
Id be more worried about the lead in radiators, old paint and untested soil you dont know but is contaminated with lead.
