Regarding lead remediation in soil:
    At the Eco Fair in Austin, Texas four years ago there was a symposium on 
hemp. The
issue of lead contaminated soil in Hungary was addressed and hemp was being 
used as the
remedial crop. The hemp seed was then pressed for oil and the high 
concentration of
lead in the hemp oil made it very suitable for stable paint base.  This 
application was
for non food consumption. I do not remember the refering source, try Hemptech.
    Hempstead, Texas was founded by Sherwin Williams to grow hemp seed for 
oil based
paints.
