For example, said Rattner, dissolved lead can result in lead contamination in groundwater near some shooting ranges and at heavily hunted sites, particularly those hunted year after year.

am I misunderstanding your point?
My point is that this article points out how wildlife is affected by lead. Read the complete article, no speed reading, and go back and re-read your previous posts. There may not be many studies on fish, but the facts on birds and animals are there.
