In June 2019, the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Regional Health Agency requested technical and methodological support from Santé publique France to address a lead contamination issue discovered simultaneously at two recreational shooting clubs located 15 kilometers apart near Besançon, where some shooters had elevated blood lead levels. A cross-sectional study was conducted among members of these two shooting clubs to assess their biological exposure to lead. These individuals were asked to have their blood lead levels tested and to complete an individual online questionnaire to provide Santé publique France with their blood lead test results, details of their shooting activities, and any known exposures to lead. At the conclusion of the survey in February 2020, 41 adult shooters from Club A (15% of the 269 adult members in 2018–2019) and 92 adult shooters from Club B (32% of the 289 adult members in 2018–2019) completed an individual online questionnaire and underwent at least one blood lead level test. Respectively, 60% and 40% of shooters from Clubs A and B had blood lead levels above the 70 µg/L threshold defining lead overexposure for an adult. The exposed shooters were predominantly adult males. Lead exposure increased with the frequency of visits to shooting ranges. Certain practices, such as “helping to clean the ranges” or “eating on site,” were associated with high blood lead levels. Lead elimination was slow, taking approximately one year without exposure to reduce shooters’ blood lead levels by half. The detection of lead at shooting ranges is not a recent discovery. Professional shooters already receive medical monitoring. However, this risk of lead exposure tends to be underestimated when it occurs exclusively in a recreational and club setting, as this population is not subject to any monitoring. Raising awareness of the problem begins with providing shooters with accurate information and raising their awareness. However, it will remain difficult to convince shooters to take measures that may be perceived as burdensome for themselves and/or costly for clubs, especially since the effects of lead are often not readily apparent at the individual level. As the only way to identify excessive individual exposure to lead, a discussion should be initiated to assess the benefits of regular biological monitoring of recreational shooters.
