Many times, lead dissolves into water and goes into the soil that way. This is why they banned lead bullets, people would shoot ducks and they would land in a pond or lake and poison it.

How can lead poison a child through soil?
Children who play in soil contaminated with lead can breathe in or swallow very small particles of dust when they play or put their dust-covered hands or toys in their mouths (putting things in their mouths is normal behavior for young children). After it's breathed in or swallowed, the lead gets into their blood and then is distributed throughout the body. The main source of soil contamination is usually old lead paint. Lead paint was banned from residential use in 1978, but an estimated 54 million homes still contain lead, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. When the paint deteriorates, or when the home is renovated without proper lead-safe work practices, particles of lead can fall into the soil. Other sources of lead in the soil include old leaded gasoline (which is also now banned) and lead from industrial emissions. The lead does not decay; it remains in the soil unless it is removed. In some states, children are required to have blood lead tests at ages 1 and 2 (and perhaps at other ages as well). Whether required or not, it's important to test every child who might be at risk for lead poisoning, which can cause lifelong learning, behavior, and medical problems. If you know the soil around a home is contaminated, don't let children play there. If possible, plant shrubs in the soil to keep children away from bare soil. And keep pets away too--if they walk across the soil, they can not only get lead poisoned too but also track lead particles into the home. For more information about lead, see the Environmental Protection Agency's website: www.epa.gov/lead.
What produces the sediments that ultimately lead to soil formation?
