Wonderful to see our colleagues in Indonesia make important progress toward a large-scale blood lead level testing program. The information provided from this program should help the gov't and its partners prioritize and address key exposure sources and protect millions of kids.
Check out highlights from the @PureEarthID kickoff event for the new Blood Lead Level (BLL) surveillance program:

In places like Pesearean, Indonesia, informal car battery smelting has left a legacy of lead contamination. Watch this video to learn how @PureEarthNow works with local engineers & communities to map contamination levels and identify cleanup solutions: s.mtrbio.com/vrivjnizwd

In 2019, an estimated 350,000 women died from lead pollution alone.
Hear from Program Manager, Caroline Baylor, on our Women’s Environmental Health Initiative, which works around the world to address pollution's outsized harm to women’s health.

Attending #UNGA for the launch of Partnership for a Lead-Free Future. Exciting to see global leaders prioritize the fight against lead pollution- we've been sounding the alarm + gathering data for years. Grateful to @FLOTUS @UNICEF + @PowerUSAID for supporting this crucial issue!
Pure Earth Indonesia retweeted
The world has already succeeded in massively reducing the burden of lead exposure for hundreds of millions of people. We’re excited to be taking the next crucial steps toward eliminating lead exposure globally, ensuring that everyone—regardless of where they live—has the opportunity to lead a healthy life in a lead-free environment.

Finally, we’ve pledged $2M to support the launch of the Partnership for a Lead-Free Future, which brings together institutions + funders + governments to make progress on this neglected issue.
We’re deeply grateful for @PowerUSAID’s leadership around lead exposure, and we’re excited to be working with @USAID and @UNICEF on the partnership.

We’re excited to be supporting the important work of these grantees with the funding we’ve already allocated:
@PureEarthNow: $17M for mitigation and measurement projects across 10+ countries and Indian states (pictured: a small % of the products they’ve tested)
@CGDev: $2.7M to run working groups, develop policy proposals, and build the evidence base around lead exposure interventions
A research consortium (feat. @leadelimination, Adam Kiefer, and Jenna Forsyth): $345K to develop and test a cheaper way to scan for lead in paint using handheld XRF analyzers
@PahleIndia: $190K for a working group and policy proposals re: lead exposure in India
@WorldHealthSmt: $10K in venue costs for a workshop aimed at increasing attention from aid agencies and other orgs

Fortunately, while lead is a sorely neglected issue, it’s also tractable: we know it’s possible to make significant progress.
* Average blood lead levels in the US declined by 94% between the late 1970s and the 2010s.
* @leadelimination supported the government of Malawi to reduce the national market share of lead paint by more than half within three years.
* Academics and regulators worked together in Bangladesh to completely eliminate lead from the country’s turmeric supply.
LEAF will accelerate progress towards a world free of lead exposure, while directly tackling the most urgent and addressable sources for tens of millions of people.

Thank you @open_phil + partners for your support.
Through a Lead Exposure Action Fund grant, Pure Earth will reduce lead exposure in 10+ countries from sources like spices, ceramics, cosmetics, metal cookware, and used lead acid batteries.

One of Open Philanthropy’s goals is to collaborate more often with other funders. Today, we’re excited to announce our biggest collaboration to date – the Lead Exposure Action Fund (LEAF).
Lead exposure causes an estimated 1.5 million deaths each year. But until recently, total donor funding for the problem was only about $15 million/year – less than 1% of what goes toward other neglected health challenges like tuberculosis or malaria.
Thanks to our generous partners, LEAF will be able to allocate at least $104 million between now and 2027. We estimate this will roughly double donor funding for this issue.

Lead is poison–and no level is considered safe. Lead exposure affects almost every organ in a child’s body and damages their brain.
To tackle this solvable problem, @USAID & UNICEF today launched the Partnership for a Lead-Free Future #ForEveryChild.
