This report reviews the available information on the use, environmental fate, and toxicity of spent lead shot and lost lead fishing weights. The report begins with a summary of information on the production, import, and use of lead shot and fishing sinkers in Canada. It then discusses the fate of these products in the environment, including chemical transformation of metallic lead in the environment, lead concentrations in soils and biota, and factors affecting the environmental mobility of lead compounds. The next section assesses the toxicity of lead shot and sinkers to waterfowl and non-waterfowl species, effects of lead shot ingestion in cattle, and human health concerns about hunting with lead shot. The report ends with a discussion of options for managing the negative impacts of those products, including using alternatives to lead, restricting use of lead shot, and alternative fishing sinker products.
