(a) Study Photograph D (Insert), which shows an industry. (b) Study Fig. 10, which is information about copper mining and smelting (processing) in Zambia. Glencore, a transnational company which employs 50000 people in 30 countries, including Zambia, controls most of the world copper production. In the small mining town of Mufulira in Zambia people still struggle to live on a few dollars a day. This is not enough to feed their families and they cannot afford to buy medicines to treat those suffering from the effects of air and water pollution from the copper mines and smelters which give off sulfur dioxide. Acid used in the smelting process has contaminated drinking water supplies, clouds of sulfur make it difficult to breathe and acid rain kills crops and damages buildings.
