Big nope - pesticides are there to repel or kill bugs. A lot of times the recommendation is to wash fruit before eating it to remove pesticides or lead from fuel burned by cars in the vicinity, etc.

Uhh, no cars are emitting lead anymore? AV gas, maybe, if the field is near an airport that is a potential risk.

You can buy leaded fuel for racing. In theory lead contamination could be an issue near a speedway.

I guess he meant general soot from burned fuel, as much if not more toxic than lead itself.
