Globally, lead is responsible for 900,000 deaths annually. That is almost as many deaths as from HIV / AIDS… and more than the deaths from malaria, war / terrorism and natural disasters, combined. However, annual deaths capture only a small slice of lead’s true impacts. The most insidious effects of lead exposures occur within the brains of children.
Buying products containing lead contributes to the poisoning of humans and the environment. Reducing global lead poisoning begins with your choice of crockery, homewares, bullets and fishing sinkers.
It begins with you.
