Abstract
Between 2010 and 2013, a coordinated health and environmental response addressed an unprecedented lead poisoning epidemic in Zamfara State, northern Nigeria. The contamination, caused by gold mining, led to the deaths of over 400 children. Socioeconomic, logistical, and security issues necessitated the development of remediation and medical strategies tailored to local resources, labor practices, and cultural customs. The primary cause was unsafe mining and ore processing. The study evaluates the effectiveness of soil remediation in eight villages of Zamfara, comparing it to the USA's hazardous waste protocols. An environmental impact assessment was conducted to assess the outcomes of the remediation and to propose long-term solutions to prevent future occurrences.
