Yeah this one is a heads up - I’ve always thrifted and sourced my pans at flea markets. I would imagine that sandblasting the pan and re seasoning might mitigate?
not all sandblasting is ghost busters style though. Plenty of smaller units in use that have some pretty extensive filtration add’ons for just this type of situation (think sci-fi medical glass-box with glove inserts you stick you hands into and where the alien eventually breaks out of).
Depends if the lead is just a later contamination on the surface or is already in the material since the beginning. For first one your idea might work, second one definitely not.

Wouldn’t sandblasting aerosolize the lead?
Probably, but you should be wearing PPE anyway. And washing your hands like it has lead, even if it doesnt.
Generally microscopic particles of silica, metals, paints, oxides, etc. aren’t good for you
My point is it would spread the contamination around. RIP sandblasting place, no? All the objects around, would all receive a thin veneer of lead.

Thank you for the explanation and the mental imagery. I’m a big Alien fan.
I think no, but I’m not an expert here. I can find no articles with a statement for or against that aren’t opinion pieces or reddit threads.
I’d err on the side of caution but this would be a good experiment and follow up video on YT
