A doctor at Beijing's Chaoyang Hospital helps a student from Chengde, North 皇冠体育app's Hebei Province, move into his ward Friday March 19, 2004. He is one of 164 primary school students from Chengde who came to Beijing to be checked for possible lead poisoning. The hospital found that all of them had been in contact with lead. Many students complained of such symptoms as stomach-ache, fever and sweating since March 15. It is suspected that waste disposed by a mineral factory -- less than 500 meters from the school -- is to blame for the poisoning. The case is still under investigation. [newsphoto]
