Several countries have banned the use of smaller lead based sinkers, as they have been proven to kill wildlife, particularly waterbirds.  Just handling a lead sinker is bad for you, lead bio-accumulates (you can absorb lead but not get rid of it).  Small children are at risk of fatal lead poisoning if they eat a lead sinker and it is not removed, even with proper treatment the effects of lead poisoning can never be fully cured.  Globally lead is being removed from petrol, paint and water carrying products due to its toxicity, yet it is still commonly used for fishing sinkers.  WorkSafe Australia have very specific requirements for anyone who works with lead.
