Lead poisoning found in over 100 kids in Anhui
MORE than 100 children in a small town in Anhui Province were found to have excessive levels of lead in their blood and two nearby battery factories were blamed as the source of lead poisoning, Xinhua reported yesterday.
More than 200 children in Gaohe Town, Huaning County took a blood lead test recently and over half of them showed excessive amount of lead in their blood and 24 of them were immediately hospitalized at Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital for treatment.
Since more children in the town are taking the blood lead test, the number of lead poisoning victims is expected to rise.
A parent told Xinhua that most of the lead poisoned children came from Xinshan Community in Gaohe Town, where the two battery factories are located.
The local government has taken emergency measures to control the situation, such as conducting blood test on people living near the factories, offering them free medical treatment, and closing down the two factories.
