everyl, here: Residual lead in soil contributes to lead exposure in urban areas. [6] It has been thought that the more polluted an area is with various contaminants, the more likely it is to contain lead. However, this is not always the case, as there are several other reasons for lead contamination in soil. [44] Lead content in soil may be caused by broken-down lead paint, residues from lead-containing gasoline, used engine oil, or pesticides used in the past, contaminated landfills, or from nearby industries such as foundries or smelters. [45] Although leaded soil is less of a problem in countries that no longer have leaded gasoline, it remains prevalent, raising concerns about the safety of urban agriculture ; [46] eating food grown in contaminated soil can present a lead hazard.

Lead does not cause cancer, or other diseases associated with chemicals, lead causes lead poisoning. Also normal bullets have not been banned in any of the Geneva Conventions.
