    Children, boys and adults work daily, weather permitting, digging rocks out of the slag heaps adjacent to the non-operating lead mine at Kabwe. The larger rocks are piled, crushed by small hammers, bagged, and ultimately sold as building material. The rocks contain up to 5 percent lead and are highly toxic. Locals with no other jobs perform this hazardous work.  Image by Larry C. Price. Zambia, 2017.

    Atop Black Mountain More than 6 million metric tonnes of lead slag form Black Mountain, a 30-meter pile of toxic lead waste that still contains a sizable quantity of lead, copper, manganese and zinc. Due to a depressed economy and lack of employment among many of Kabwe's residents, scavengers toil daily to mine some of the richer veins of lead slag for resale to reprocessing smelters in Zambia.
