	Lead poisoning concern in mining town
		Kabwe's vegetation, soil and waterways are heavily contaminated with the highly poisonous metal.
		A survey in former mine townships in Kabwe revealed that children suffered ailments commonly thought to be a 'local strain' of malaria, but environmentalists and health workers said they were caused by lead poisoning.
		In the long term it is likely that Kabwe's mine dumps will have to be covered by vegetation or capped with concrete to prevent pollutants being blown across the town, and medical staff will need to be properly trained and equipped to deal with lead pollution.

		Kabwe, the second largest city in Zambia and for years a center of Africa's mining industry, is now one of the world's most poisoned cities.
		When the Kabwe mine was closed in 1994, lead concentrations measured in the soil closest to the smelter typically ranged from 20,000 to 100,000 ppm, or 1,000 to 5,000 percent higher than U.S. regulatory levels.
		In Kabwe, the most common pathways of lead poisoning are believed to be inhalation or ingestion of a airborne particles when the smelter was still in operation, dust from gardens and general play areas, household dust, food grown in contaminated soil, and dust created as people search the mine spoils for lead scraps.

		KABWE, 9 November (IRIN) - Kabwe, home to 300,000 people, is Africa's most polluted city and has gained the dubious distinction of being ranked as the world's fourth most polluted site, according to a survey published by the Blacksmith Institute, a New York-based organisation monitoring pollution in the developing world.
		In Kabwe, the main cause of lead poisoning is believed to be inhalation or ingestion of airborne particles, dust from gardens and general play areas, food grown in contaminated soils, and dust created as people search the mine dumps for scrap metals.
		Kabwe's lead mine was run without pollution controls by the government-owned Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines (ZCCM) for most of its life before it became financially unviable and the smelter closed down.

	BBC NEWS \| World \| Africa \| Zambia's child poisoning tragedy
		What sets Kabwe apart from other places is the extent of its lead pollution, a grim, but for years hidden, legacy of the town's now disused lead mine.
		According to environmentalists one of Kabwe's lead hotspots is Katondo, one of the townships that sprouted up in the shadow of Kabwe's old mine - which lies in the heart of the town.
		Nevertheless, this is an important triumph for the residents of Kabwe, who for close to 100 years may have died by the thousands as a result of the cover-up of what environmentalists claim is one of the world's worst cases of lead contamination.

		A complex clean-up strategy for Kabwe is in its primary stages.
		Kabwe, the second largest city in Zambia, has found itself on the top-ten of a new list of "the world's worst polluted places" due to very high lead concentrations left over from previous mining operations.
		Ore veins with lead concentrations as high as 20 percent have been mined deep into the earth, and a smelting operation was set up to process the ore. Rich deposits of sulphide ore consisted of silicates, oxides and carbonates of lead that averaged 34 percent in lead concentration.
