Lead pollution from mines

A bit of BBC excitement from earlier today;

Clearly entirely down to a known miscreant in the area.

I'm actually surprised that access to many mines has not been stopped due to possible pollution from disturbing the silts within.

We (Cambrian Mines Trust) forbit any access to Pughs Adit at Cwmystwyth because of the ochre silt, it only leads to a fall at Pughs Shaft anyway.
