Some possible issues with arsenic compounds in some alloys. Lead itself does
not vaporize significantly at casting temps. Biggest issue is particulate contamination
rather than gases. Wash your hands and keep little kids away as they touch everything
and put their hands in their mouths 5 times a minute.

I like that "don't smoke" while casting you could get lung cancer. The next big thing I hear is lead poisoning could cause birth defects. I'm 59 years old and won't be making babies anymore. I quit smoking 30 years ago and I wash my hands when I'm done. I guess I'm safe.
