This is the first study, to our knowledge, of lead exposure in shooting ranges in an African setting. This study indicates highly elevated lead exposure amongst the users of certain private shooting ranges in South Africa. Lead exposure may be a serious, yet under-studied, source of adult lead exposure in South Africa, and possibly elsewhere on the African continent.
