You sure it's not because of pollution ?
Lead (and other chemicals) pollution is pretty common and if there was a factory in your area, there is your answer.
Western countries have laws forcing companies that move out to "clean" the area, but it's not done perfectly all the time (when companies go bankrupt for exemple) and it's sometimes not done AT ALL elsewhere in the world.
