A village resident watches over a compound wall as local health workers remove earth contaminated by lead from a neighboring family compound in the village of Dareta in Gusau, Nigeria Thursday, June 10, 2010. Foreign health workers and local volunteers are working to clean up villages affected by lead poisoning, after 160 people died and hundreds more fell sick. At least six villages remain contaminated with the lead, released during illegal, but highly profitable gold mining in the poor region.
