| Abstract: | A number of cattle deaths were reported in 1997 on White Leeds Station in the Pinnacles Paddock, which surrounds the Pinnacles Mine about 14 km SW of Broken I Hill. Follow up studies by NSW Agriculture showed elevated levels of lead in tissue, offal and faeces of dead animals and in blood of living animals, and concluded that the cattle from paddocks on White Leeds Station both in the Pinnacles Paddock and I the House Paddock had been exposed to potentially significant lead intakes. |
