Lead in garden soil

I just had my soil tested for lead and was given a result of 120 mg/Kg-dry for my tomato bed and 71 mg/Kg-dry in my herb bed. What is an acceptable level of lead in the soil of a vegetable garden?

I am pregnant and have a small child, so I'm worried about the presence of any lead at all.
