	Green Left - Issues: Port Pirie: a town buried in lead
		The release by the South Australian government in December of the latest blueprint to reduce lead pollution in Port Pirie signals yet another chapter in the long, half-hearted effort by SA authorities to mitigate the impact of the town’s lead smelter.
		Port Pirie, a town with 14,000 residents, located 230 kilometres north of Adelaide, has long been plagued by lead pollution.
		The presumption seems to be that protecting Port Pirie residents’ health is possible simply through better management of the pollution — through community education, monitoring of high-risk children and support services, minor modifications of houses (such as filling gaps) and a diligent approach to cleanliness inside them.

		The Port Pirie City Council has undertaken a footpath sealing program, rehabilitation of parks and playgrounds, and recently amended its Supplementary Development Plan to limit the number of new dwellings adjacent to the smelter.
		At the end of 1992, 13% (or 84) of the 1-4 year old children tested in Port Pirie had blood lead levels at or above 25 µg/dl, 28% (178) were at or above 20 µg/dl and 58% (360) were at or above 15 µg/dl.
		In suggesting appropriate goals for Port Pirie, a locality affected by gross contamination, it is recognised that the national goal of 10µg/dl will be clearly impossible to achieve in a short timeframe without the very substantial resources required to relocate part of the City.
