No, but you should be able to find quite a bit of research if you google or
yahoo "mute swans" "Thames" and "lead".

Ban on lead sinker sales in NY State
 

Lead bullets? Who hunts with a rifle over water? Lead shotgun shot is
already banned in most places.. The so called problem is with ducks and
Loons eating lead and dying...

Didn't they sat the same thing about lead shot in shotguns? Where's all the
extra ducks and geese that should be in our flyways now?
