TL;DR: Investigation of BLLs in children under the age of 7 years in townships around the mine in Kabwe, the capital of Zambia's Central Province found that children in these areas could be at serious risk of Pb toxicity as 18% of the sampled children in Chowa, 57% (Kasanda) and 25% (Makululu) had B LLs exceeding 65 μg dL(-1).

TL;DR: Geographic Information System analysis indicated the source of metal pollution was mining and smelting activity, and wild rats from Kabwe had much higher tissue concentrations of Pb than those from Lusaka.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial distribution of heavy metals in main areas of Zambia and understand the characteristics of the pollution in each area were analyzed using a cluster analysis, and the patterns of heavy metal pollution were divided into three major clusters: (1) Kabwe, (2) Copperbelt and (3) Lusaka and other areas.

TL;DR: The sediment and the herbivorous fish O. niloticus and the crayfish had much higher biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAF) for Cu, Zn, and Cd relative to Cr, Co, Pb, and Ni.
