The lead poisoning got us talking about the sources - hunters with the
years of using lead shot for waterfowl, the fishing industry with all
the lead used as sinkers and heads on jigs, and industries that, over
the years, may have dumped lead and other toxic elements into our water
supplies.
Solutions are underway. Lead shot has been banned for waterfowl. We
just have to be sure hunters understand the importance of that ban and
abide by it.
The fishing industry seems to be recognizing the problem and some
sporting goods stores have initiated a recall of lead weights as they
are willing to replace them with new non-toxic materials.
This may be only a beginning but at least we are moving in the right
direction.
