According to the document, the poisoning risk is quite low as long as good precaution is taken.
"To minimize health risks from handling air gun pellets, do not allow food or open drink containers on air gun ranges and have participants wash their hands after firing activities on air gun ranges."
"Firing air rifles or air pistols at muzzle velocities prescribed for target shooting (<600 fps) does not generate any detectable airborne lead. There is therefore no need for special ventilation systems
on air gun ranges since there is no airborne lead to exhaust from the range. Normal ventilation achieved by modern HVAC systems provides more than adequate ventilation for air gun ranges."
"the deposit of lead residues in front of the firing line does not constitute an immediate health hazard to persons on the range if movement ahead of the firing line is properly controlled. If shooters or coaches move forward of the firing line, they can potentially pick up lead fragments on their shoes and
track them back to the firing points or areas behind the firing line. For this reason, personnel movements forward of the firing line should be reduced and restricted to marked lanes on either side
of the firing points "
