Is the paint in your home safe for your children?
Tests on 30 paint samples in Nigeria found lead levels as high as 129,837 parts per million (WHO).
Lead in paint is one of the leading causes of harm to children’s development, and lead dust can travel home into the places where children play, eat and sleep.
Protecting children and workers calls for informed choices and safe work practices, at work and around the household.
With support from the Lead Exposure Elimination Project’s Local Action Fund, Bridge Connect is joining the International Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (ILPPW) campaign themed “From Detection to Prevention”.
The well-being of a community depends on the well-being of its households, and through a series of upcoming awareness and activities, we will promote safer painting practices and practical ways to protect children, workers and families at home and in the workplace.
