Low: If the lead present in your soil tests 400 ppm or below, the soil is safe for any use. Medium: Lead levels at 400 PPM and above fall into a medium risk range that increases in the amount of risk to an upper threshold of 1,000 PPM. High: If your lead level is above 1,000 PPM, use the area for something other than fruit and vegetable gardening.
