New study with Aga Khan University @AKUGlobal shows that many oil-based paints for home-use available on the market in Pakistan contain high levels of lead. As we've found before, it looks like red and yellow pigments are the main source of lead

Lead Exposure Elimination Project@LeadElimination

Our new research with @AKUGlobal has found that 40% of oil-based paints sampled from the market in Pakistan contained dangerous and illegal levels of lead, endangering the health of children. Some paint contained 1000 times the legal limit for lead. leadelimination.org/paint-study-pa…

Can you think of a book that led to a clear change in your behavior that (and this part is important) endured at least six months after you finished the book? Nonfiction or fiction. Professional or personal behavior.

It was an absolute pleasure and a lot of fun working with the team at the EPA in Sierra Leone earlier this year. Thank you to them! On a day off some of us visited @Tacugama chimpanzee sanctuary - here's a view of the forest canopy 💚

As is often the case in our work at LEEP, I'm both gutted that there's still so much lead paint about, but also glad to be making progress. Onwards! 📈

Lead Exposure Elimination Project@LeadElimination

(1/3) Earlier this year we conducted a paint testing study with the Environment Protection Agency of Sierra Leone @ProtectionLeone (EPA-SL). Results show that 47% of solvent-based paint samples contained dangerously high levels of lead.

@tony__sena have an independent org survey and interview key stakeholders at the end of a project (say after we have re-tested paints and regulation is in) and form a judgement that way.

Clare Donaldson@C_Don7·18 Ağu

@tony__sena not yet! During a project we track things like timelines, meetings, what stakeholders have said about our contribution and counterfactuals, what they’ve asked for, who else is working on this, etc - but we don’t expect those to give a super-reliable answer, so we plan to...

Really exciting progress in Madagascar. The Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, and Rila Rakotomanana in particular, has been doing an incredible job on this project, glad that LEEP could support them!

Lead Exposure Elimination Project@LeadElimination

We’re delighted to announce that the Bureau of Standards in Madagascar has set a new standard on lead in paint and is taking steps to make this standard mandatory, as part of the lead paint project in Madagascar. 🎉 Local news report: midi-madagasikara.mg/2022/07/22/ind…

What if I told you that roughly $500 for therapy + a little cash helped the most troubled young men in West Africa drop their crime and violence by half. For at least 10 years. Almost 350 fewer crimes PER PARTICIPANT over 10y. That's ~$1.50 per crime averted. New paper & a 🧵

1 in 3 kids around the world is lead poisoned. Maybe. See graph. There's a lot of guesswork. We make the case to expand @UNICEF & @USAID pilots incorporating blood-lead level testing into household surveys. cgdev.org/blog/time-get-… with @leecrawfurd @susannahhares @rsilv_dc

More data and more testing capacity is needed if lead exposure is to be eliminated in LMICs 👇

Lead Exposure Elimination Project@LeadElimination

Lead poisoning is damaging children’s futures around the globe, and particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This is an unacceptable situation that demands action. With @Day1Project we have produced a roadmap to eliminate lead exposure.🧵dayoneproject.org/post/eliminati…
