Hundreds poisoned
BEIJING - At least 879 people in two Chinese villages have been admitted to hospital with lead poisoning, probably caused by airborne waste from a nearby lead factory, local officials said.
The poisonings in the poor, northwestern province of Gansu added to a string of recent pollution disasters that have prompted violent protests.
