[ { "answers": [ { "answer": "The World Health Organization (WHO), which has been assisting the Government in managing the situation, called for Nigerian authorities to increase their commitment to combat lead poisoning by strengthening its capacity to diagnose, treat and manage it, as well as ensuring that all areas have been de-contaminated.\n\nIn a news release, WHO warned that lead poisoning cannot be successfully eliminated without significant changes to mining practices, including the relocation of ore processing activities and storage of ore materials away from villages.\n\nOther necessary measures recommended by WHO include the adoption of processing methods that produce less dust, and hygiene measures such as removing contaminated clothes and washing before returning home.\n\nLead poisoning damages the nervous system and causes brain and blood disorders. Treatment is time-consuming and expensive as it involves undergoing long-term therapy with chelating agents, which remove heavy metals from the body.\n\nTreatment also involves persuading people to adopt new practices and behaviours, something which requires an ongoing effort from authorities to continuously raise awareness and make sure the population follows preventive measures.\n\nAccording to WHO, children in seven villages in Zamfara state require chelation therapy. This is in addition to the residents of seven other villages who have already received treatment. In these villages the combined effects of removing children from lead exposure and providing chelation therapy caused the child mortality rate to drop from 43 per cent to 1 per cent in one year.\n\nSince the problem was discovered last year, $1.9 million has been provided by the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to WHO and the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), which have been used to provide treatment, train doctors, provide quick diagnoses, and raise awareness about the hazards of lead.", "answer_type": "Extractive", "boolean_explanation": null, "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230420145113/https://news.un.org/en/story/2011/11/394792-lead-poisoning-continues-affect-many-nigeria-un", "source_medium": "Web text", "source_url": "https://news.un.org/en/story/2011/11/394792-lead-poisoning-continues-affect-many-nigeria-un" } ], "question": "Was there high level of child lead poisoning in Zamfara State Nigeria 2017 ?" }, { "answers": [ { "answer": "No answer could be found.", "answer_type": "Unanswerable", "boolean_explanation": null, "cached_source_url": null, "source_medium": "", "source_url": "" } ], "question": "Was there a 92% prevalence of blood lead poisoning in Zamfara due to gold mining?" }, { "answers": [ { "answer": "Gold rush triggers deadly lead poisoning in Nigeria", "answer_type": "Extractive", "boolean_explanation": null, "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230420145303/https://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/africa/11/30/nigeria.gold.mining.lead.poisoning/index.html", "source_medium": "Audio", "source_url": "https://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/africa/11/30/nigeria.gold.mining.lead.poisoning/index.html" }, { "answer": "The study eventually identified 131 villages of interest in the state through a chain-referral approach.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the actor-director signaled that he thinks a different candidate would be the better choice.\n\n“The best thing we could do is just get Mike Bloomberg in there,” he said.\n\nAfter endorsing Mitt Romney and famously delivering a speech at the 2012 Republican National Convention to an empty chair that represented Barack Obama, Eastwood never officially backed Trump. In a 2016 interview, he expressed displeasure with Trump and Hillary Clinton, saying there’s “much funny business on both sides of the aisle.”\n\nHe praised Trump at the time because he was “onto something” and “secretly everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up.”\n\n“We’re really in a p—y generation. Everybody’s walking on eggshells. We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff. When I grew up, those things weren’t called racist,” he said.\n\nNow, he’s changed his tune a bit on Trump.\n\nWhile he approves of “certain things” the president has done, he wishes that he would act “in a more genteel way, without tweeting and calling people names. I would personally like for him to not bring himself to that level,” he said.\n\nEastwood also touched on the controversy surrounding Olivia Wilde’s character, Kathy Scruggs, in his 2019 film “Richard Jewell.” He showed Scruggs, the real-life reporter who alleged Jewell planted a bomb at the 1996 Olympics, sleeping with an FBI source to get information. Lawyers for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the newspaper at which Scruggs worked, called the portrayal “entirely false and malicious, and…extremely defamatory and damaging.” The film was Clintwood’s worst opening in 40 years.\n\nThe director defended his right to cinematic freedom and said the newspaper was trying to shroud its “guilt” over a “reckless story.”\n\n“Well, she hung out at a little bar in town, where mostly police officers went,” he said", "answer_type": "Extractive", "boolean_explanation": null, "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230329075528/https://variety.com/2020/film/news/clint-eastwood-mike-bloomberg-2020-election-1203511657/", "source_medium": "Web text", "source_url": "https://variety.com/2020/film/news/clint-eastwood-mike-bloomberg-2020-election-1203511657/" } ], "question": "Did Clint Eastwood express support for Donald Trump ?" } ]
