In the mid-1990s, the fabulous pistol and rifle club I'd just shot two consecutive Canadian Pistol Nationals at was suddenly closed and condemned due to concerns about residual lead from spent bullets leaching into the groundwater and contaminating the local water table, from which potable tapwater was drawn. Offering this simply as an example. I don't have the data to defend or rebut the verdict.
