As a bullet penetrates through the body of the animal, its Pb core typically releases thousands of fragments of varying sizes. While there is limited knowledge about the toxicology of lead in the form of small particles, known as nanoparticles, studies suggest that toxic elements, such as lead, are particularly potent when present in nanoparticle form.

These tiny particles have the potential to accumulate in cells or remain stable for extended periods, increasing the likelihood of adverse health effects associated with lead exposure. Given the potential risks posed by nanoparticle contamination, it is imperative to conduct further research to understand the implications of lead fragmentation in game meat and develop strategies to mitigate its impact on human health.
