          "In a third, unrelated study, a team of University of Pittsburgh researchers showed adults can be inoculated with a second wave of lead as they get older."

          What is this study about? Inoculated with lead poison? Inoculated for what? Lead poisoning?

            It's explained in the very last paragraph:

            "Writing in the Archives of Environmental and Occupational Health, Lisa Morrow and colleagues showed that lead can leach into the blood from bones as people age and lose bone mass."

            In this case "inoculated" refers to an adult having lead entering the blood as it is released from their own bones as the bones lose mass due to aging
