From a health brochure of the US governmentLead can affect childrens
developing nervous systems, causing reduced IQ and
learning disabilities. In adults, high lead levels can cause
high blood pressure, headaches, digestive problems,
memory and concentration problems, kidney damage,
mood changes, nerve disorders, sleep disturbances, and
muscle or joint pain.Looks like spending to much time around your stereo gets you irritated :-)

Yes ingested lead, or particulates. Solid lead sheets cut, sealed and used properly is fine. We in Europe are not idiots.Actually I was head of a Centre of Environmental Studies and understand the environmental health; not jusr read about it.
I am European too btw., however, I have been living in the states for some years.
Fmak, some people in Austria and Germany ingest arsenic and they are not idiots.However, it could be dangerous for someone to try.As of Europeans not being idiots, in the light of the Inquisition, Napoleon, colonial exctermination, WWI, Hitler and Stalin (jointly killed some 2 billion dead) it has to be questioned.
Lead is used not only for roofs, lead is used for water pipes since the Roman times but this is not the point. You did not say that you use sealed lead sheet. Using UNSEALED lead such as lead shot for speaker stands is not a brightest thing to do. I kindly pointed you in the right direction. I had no frigging clue what your expertise is nor intention to insult your intelligence.
If you got offended, I apologize.
