Lead is a toxic metal that is found in air, soil and water. Lead has both natural and artificial sources. Some of these sources include industrial emissions, residual lead from gasoline and lead paint in older homes. Lead paint was banned in 1978 and lead in gasoline was phased out and banned in 1995, but both still remain in the environment.
