由于历史上的采矿活动,澳大利亚Brack Hill的土壤、地毯和油漆中的铅污染对儿童,特别是土著青年构成风险。 Lead contamination in soil, carpet, and paint in Broken Hill, Australia, poses risks to children, especially Aboriginal youth, due to historic mining activities.
在澳大利亚Brack Hill进行的一项研究表明,土壤、地毯和油漆中的铅污染程度很高,对儿童,特别是土著青年构成重大风险。 A study in Broken Hill, Australia, reveals high lead contamination in soil, carpet, and paint, posing significant risks to children, especially Aboriginal youth. 历史采矿活动是污染源,一些地区的铅含量比补救阈值高出六倍。 Historic mining activities are the source of contamination, with some areas showing lead levels six times above remediation thresholds. 尽管以往的监测努力降低了铅浓度,但最近数据显示5岁以下儿童血液铅浓度在上升,这凸显了当前公共卫生危机。 Despite past monitoring efforts reducing lead levels, recent data indicate rising blood lead levels in children under five, highlighting an ongoing public health crisis.
