This Are you contaminating your garden’s soil? Chicken Wire: 2,201 ppm Lead, 30 ppm Cadmium. Click & read for safer choices. tested at 2201 ppm lead, significantly elevated. The bioavailability question (can this lead reach a person?) depends on whether the lead is locked into a fired matrix or sitting on a painted surface. Cadmium reads 2201 ppm, which is also flagged territory.
