Assessment and Remediation of Lead Contamination in Senegal

Assessment and Remediation of Lead Contamination in Senegal

Background. This paper describes the impact of improper used lead-acid battery (ULAB) handling and disposal. A specific case study is presented describing the field assessment and remediation of lead contamination in a community in Senegal where at least 18 children died from lead poisoning. Objecti...
