2 hours 47 minutes ago


The Queensland Government has been accused of trying to play down health concerns involving children at Mount Isa.


The report followed fears about contamination from Xstrata operations.


A new report has confirmed that 11 per cent of the 400 children who were tested in the north-west Queensland mining town have high levels of lead in their blood.



But Queensland Health concedes the exact source of the lead has not been determined.
