Here's Monica Kellan with more.
Reuters reports new field studies find elevated blood lead levels among children living near informal and formal battery recycling sites in Nigeria.
Egos, including Pure Earth and local partners, say poorly regulated smelting and unsafe dismantling practices contaminate soil and air.

Nigerian officials say enforcement actions and cleanups are underway, while the WHO warns no level of lead exposure is safe for children.
Advocates call for certified recycling standards, medical screening, and rapid remediation to cut risk.
