Lead Contamination Near Smelter Tied To Elevated Blood Levels
The NCDC reports higher airborne metallic wastes downwind of the smelter with soil showing similar results. Drinking water milk and food were free of lead. Among those within one mile, 43 percent had elevated blood lead and 62 percent of children under ten were affected. About 2,700 people aged 1 to 19 showed undue absorption. Measures include partial emission reductions and relocating around 500 residents.
