My ex-husband used to melt lead on the gas hob in the kitchen during my pregnancy, filling the air with lead fumes. He was casting lead ball ammunition for his muzzle loaders club. He wouldn't stop even after telling him I was concerned for the unborn baby so I called environmental health who ordered him to stop. My son was eventually born with a neurological disorder and I divorced the uncaring b*$***d !

Yes, Lead is (sadly) contained in fuel for old cars.
This is no longer allowed in many countries.
The reason is that lead actually improves the
process of burning the fuel.

Another source of lead is tap water as there are still some
lead pipes in old houses.

And melting of lead can also be a problem.
