The result is The Broken Road.
"It's going to be a lot tougher to sort out the pieces of broken material".
In comparison, the Broken Hill material points to lead's ability to damage the circulatory system, kidneys, reproductive system, and brain [ 36].
Only the CDC [ 32] and Broken Hill materials specifically note that lead exposure is often asymptomatic, and only the Broken Hill materials provide a specific recommendation on when children should first get a blood lead test (12 months) and when they should be tested thereafter (18 months, 2, 3 and 4 years of age) [ 36].
For example, in addition to "mining and smelting activities for over 100 years," the Broken Hill materials point to "considerable natural contamination of soils," [ 36] and the Mount Isa materials state "lead is present in the region naturally and from industrial activities" [ 47].
While the CDC materials state that the "effects of lead exposure cannot be corrected" [ 35] only the Broken Hill materials addressed the fact that permanent damage may result from lead exposure noting "irreversible intelligence loss" is possible [ 36].
The NHMRC FAQs and the health education materials from all cities note that rainwater may be contaminated with lead, but only the Broken Hill materials specify how this can occur, through "dust on the roof, old pipes, old tanks and leaf matter" and further, that "levels of lead in rainwater tanks can change on a daily basis and is generally high" [ 56].
The CDC materials assert that while "even low levels of lead in blood" affect children [ 35], only the Broken Hill materials identify "low levels" of lead as being of concern [ 36].
The broken accumulate materials are dangerous for the structures on the toe of the slope.
In the Broken Hill materials parents are advised to "discourage dirt eating, sucking fingers/toys" [ 56].
