(1) There are no defined safe levels of lead in-
take in humans, and the toxic effects of lead are nu-
merous and largely irreversible. Lead has been 
banned from gasoline, paints, and various household 
items in most developed countries, while lead ammu-
nition is still widely used for hunting and shooting 
in the United States. 
(2) Poisoning from spent lead ammunition puts 
the health of raptors, scavengers, and other animals 
at risk. Lead contamination of carcasses remains a 
particularly serious threat to the health and sustain-
ability of scavenging birds, many of whom are killed 
each year after ingesting lead from spent ammuni-
tion. 
(3) People who frequently consume hunted ani-
mals shot with lead ammunition are at risk of high 
dietary lead exposure. 
(4) The adverse effects of lead on children’s in-
tellectual capacity are well established, especially the 
decline in IQ and loss of cognitive skills. 
(5) Used lead ammunition can take over 100 
years to disappear from the environment, allowing 
for large concentrations of lead in areas where hunt-
ing is common.
