7 things to know about lead exposure

https://www.unicef.org/stories/7-things-know-about-lead-exposure

Lead is a highly poisonous element that is responsible for nearly 1.5 per cent of annual global deaths – almost as many deaths as from HIV and AIDS, and more than from malaria. Nearly a third of the world’s children – up to 800 million children – are affected by lead poisoning. Lead affects a child’s developing brain, causing decreased intelligence, behavioural disorders and learning problems which can reduce potential earnings in adulthood. It also affects almost every organ in a child’s body, including the heart, lungs and kidneys. The global magnitude of lead poisoning is only recently coming to light. Here are some findings from a groundbreaking report on lead exposure and its effects on children.
