Hehe, I find this event kind of funny. Something distantly related has happened in Slovenia as well, when a few kinder gardens got tainted (with Pb) play sand. The media caused all kind of ruckus, citing all kind of symptoms of lead poisoning and its long lasting effects... On the other hand, there is a valley (Mezica) where a lead mine ore and smelter used to operate. Needless to say, the lead contents in *everything* is off the charts. I did write little something about this on my blog, related to the project we did in one of our classes.
