The New York Times ran an article May 14, 2009 "For Urban Gardeners, Lead is a Concern".
Los Angeles Gardeners might learn more by reading an article by Don Hodel (UC Coop Ex) and Andrew Chang (UC Riverside). This article discusses many trace elements that appear in urban gardens, including lead, what levels of them are expected and what levels should cause concern, and what we can do to reduce their presence.
Testing our soils and posting the results is an important confidence builder. Wallace Labs is one place where a soil test can be had for $75.
