I am going to be casting in the very near future for the first time. I have been a handloader for 35+ years. I will be casting in my basement. Is there any standard for ventilation, exposure limits working with lead in enclosed spaces? I realize you must handle lead with gloves but I question the actual smelting process and lead levels. At a clinic I worked in once, a patient who shot factory lead bullets in indoor pistol ranges had an extremely high lead level. I assume because the lead was being aerosolized when firing. Being lead is not being aerosolized with casting, I assume its safe to work with indoors. Correct? Or?
