I guess it depends how close to industrial areas these vegetables are
grown, and how polluting these industries are... I don't know about
Poland, but the info at
http://www.maff.gov.uk/food/infsheet/1998/No150/150milk.htm
seems to show that lead concentrations are low in vegetables produced
near industrial sites in the UK.
