Best Answer

Lead contamination is a common environmental hazard. The most common cause of lead contamination is industrial use of lead. This includes manufacturing of lead-acid batteries, use of lead in manufacturing paint and water contamination through use of taps and pipes manufactured from lead. The population living close to industrial units that use lead for manufacturing their products are likely to have higher blood lead levels.

Some brass has lead in it. The negative effect of lead on the environment is well documented. If lead gets into the water or in your body it can and will cause a number of problems as it is deadly. In your body it will cause brain damage or uncontrollable bleeding depending on how it entered your body. If it leaves the brass quickly it can cause immediate damage to your environment.
