The workshop "Health Risks and Bioavailability of Metal Residues from Hunting Ammunition in Game Meat," held in Billund, Denmark, explored the pressing issue of lead contamination in game meat. Experts from various disciplines discussed the health risks posed to humans and wildlife, the environmental impacts of lead residues, and potential alternatives to lead-based ammunition. Key findings highlighted the bioavailability and toxicity of lead from ammunition, the range and possibilities of current non-lead alternatives, and the need for harmonized regulations across Europe. The workshop underscored the importance of hunter education, public awareness, and interdisciplinary research to facilitate the transition to non-toxic ammunition and reduce contamination. Recommendations include stronger enforcement of lead bans, targeted outreach to stakeholders, and comprehensive risk assessments for alternative materials. These efforts aim to ensure the sustainability of hunting practices and the safety of game meat in the food chain.
