Event Description

Lead is a toxic metal which is known to have serious adverse impacts on public health especially among children. Decorative paints used in developing countries have been identified as a significant source of lead exposure among children and pregnant women. 

 

Lead paints, including decorative paints used in homes and schools, are widely available in the market in many developing countries while lead from paints have since long been substituted in developed countries and paints sold in most developed countries are lead free.

 

Toxics Link started to work on issues related to lead in paints and released its first report “Brush with Toxics” in 2006.  The issue is now part of the European Union SWITCH Asia project currently being implemented in seven countries of South and South East Asia. Toxics Link will undertake various activities to eliminate lead from paints. These activities vary from testing of paints to awareness campaigns regarding harms of lead paints to holding dialogue with government bodies, paint manufacturers, health personal, academicians and the consumers about establishing third party certification.

 

Through this event, Toxics Link aims to bring all the various stakeholders on one platform to discuss the action plan and also to find opportunities for collective effort in identifying solutions and help to draw up a guide-map for eliminating lead from paints in India.

 

You are an important stakeholder on the issue of elimination of lead from Paints and we sincerely value your contribution to this campaign and request your presence in this inception meeting.
