I've known several indoor only shooters whos lead levels spiked quite a bit when shooting weekly indoors. One leo range master I knew got to retire his lead levels were so high.
When a round fires the lead styphinite is blown into the air. If the ventiation is not straight up or forward, it all comes back into your face & is fine enough to be inhaled. You can google search it too.
Unless you ate standing over your tumbler & inhaling while its on or when separating, it isnt going to affect your blood lead levels. I have been casting, reloading & shooting, mostly outdoor, for decades & my lead levels are a bit high but just into double digits.
