"Would all the protective clothing and breathing covers have to do with lead exposure?"

Yes.

In reality, elemental lead from the bullets isn't that much of a problem. It's the organic lead (lead styphenate) from the primers that is the real problem. Unlike elemental lead, lead styphenate is readily absorbed into the body.
