QUESTION: Dangers of lead mining in Australia and health issues, 08 Jul 2005, Any State Australia

I am interested in the dangers of lead mining in Australia and health issues. Are there any and what precautions are taken by mining companies? Pl get back to me as soon as possible.

Many thanks

ANSWER: 08 Jul 2005

Dear Jenny,

your question is so general, I'd really need to know where you're coming from to know what level of research is required to put into the effort to answer the question. Are you asking because you live in a mining town or is it for your studies? If studying, please let me know what year of what course are you doing to give me some idea of where to start.

Yours Sincerely
Elizabeth O'Brien
