Updated: 2009-09-17 20:41 SHANGHANG: Hundreds of children were absent from schools amid fears of lead poisoning in Shanghang County, east China's Fujian Province.
The county government said that among 72 children who had taken blood tests, four have excessive lead levels in their blool, or more than 100 mg a liter of blood, compared with the normal zero to 100 mg a liter. The other 68 children have 53-100 mg of lead a liter of blood. Residents in Jiaoyang Township said the excessive levels of lead in blood might be caused by a local battery plant. The county government has ordered the environmental protection bureau to beef up supervision on the plant. |
