Background
• Evidence of high exposure to several metals (Co, Cu, As, U, …) in the population of south Katanga
• Evidence of higher exposure in subjects living very close (< 3 km) to mines or smelting plants

Aims
Main pathways of exposure ?– Air
– Dust
– Water
– Diet (staple foods, vegetables, fish, meat, ...)
– Work

IGCP/SIDA Project 594, Annual Workshop, Kitwe, Zambia, 2011
• Preliminary data – Concentrations of metals in urine of adults
and children– Concentration of metals in environmental
samples (drinking water, indoor + outdoor dust, fish, chickens)
in three areas (Likasi & Lake Changalele)

Likasi and Lake Changalele
A Control– 2 villages : Misisi-Sando (along river Lufira),
Kidimudilo
B Likasi– 2 urban areas in vicinity of metallurgical plants:
Q. Shituru, Q. Panda
C Lake Changalele (receives effluents from metallurgical plants in Likasi):– 3 villages close to Lake Changalele (high fish
consumption): Kansalabwe, Shinangwa, Kibangu

IGCP/SIDA Project 594, Annual Workshop, Kitwe, Zambia, 2011
• Preliminary conclusions
–Main source of exposure to metals appears to be dust
–Fish may also be a significant source
–Contribution of vegetables needs to be assessed
![Page 14: Kamina](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/568145e7550346895db2e7c8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
IGCP/SIDA Project 594, Annual Workshop, Windhoek, Namibia, 2012 • Additional data & further analysis re. Co
– Concentration of metals in food items (maize flour, locally grown vegetables, ...)
– Food questionnaire (quantity/quality)– Additional locations
• 1 urban area in Lubumbashi (Q. Kabecha) close to a copper/cobalt processing plant
• 1 rural area close to a cobalt mine (Shamitumba)• 2 control locations outside Copperbelt (Kamina,
Mbuji-Mayi)

Sampling
• Volunteers – convenience sampling (family clusters: adults + children) – Simple questionnaire (age, residence, …)– Food questionnaire (1 per household)– Spot sample of urine (avoiding contamination)
• Soil dust samples (outdoor + indoor)
• Drinking water
• Chickens (liver, kidney) + Fish
• Kitchen gardens (soil, vegetables) + maize flour

Analytical methods
• Urine• Water• Animal tissues• Vegetables oven dried, acid destruction• Soil & dust
Analysis by ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry)

Estimation of intake of Co
• Dietary intake based on – food questionnaire (average data)– concentrations of Co in collected samples
• Dust intake based on – estimate from literature– concentrations of Co in indoor + outdoor dust

Conclusions
• Good (but not perfect) relation between estimated Co intake and urinary concentration of Co– Lower bioavailability of Co in dust?– Incorrect estimate of quantity of dust intake?
• Main contributory sources of Co:– Control areas: ~90% maize flour + vegetables– Lakeside areas: ~25% fish – Polluted areas: vegetables and dust
(dust especially in children)
• Further analyses are planned for other metals
