Maybe but are not certain. I guess water soluable compounds must be formed but in such case it could be very dangerous. > Sounds silly that tiny phone might contaminate an entire aquifer I am certain it will if it leak and in such case it will be very harmful. > ...

It is a long term "integrating" effect and is eventually harmful also for adults. I think to much lead will make brain stupid but do know anyone who worked in lead fumes for a long time. If I got it correct lead could be released in air there my nose are straight over the soldering iron so this is the main reason I avoid it.
