lead uptake by plants?

[kevin barry]

I am preparing to plant some vegetables and am concerned that the
lead levels in the soil around my home may be elevated.  Is lead 
from the soil likely to be incorporated in plant tissues as the
plants grow in this soil?

Please respond to my email address as I don't get time to read news
on a regular basis.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin
