If the toxic metal lead (from lost fishing sinkers) ends up in the riverine potholes that act as mortar and pestle, there are exponential increases of both dissolved and fine particulate that can drift down stream suspended for great distances. These clouds of lead pollution contact sensitive gill and gut tissues, increasing up take of lead.
