About Pure Earth Bangladesh
Pure Earth, a US-based non-profit and international NGO registered in Bangladesh (No: 3366), is a leader in evidence-based solutions for lead pollution in low and middle-income countries. Since 2011, we’ve conducted extensive research, analyzing 197 consumer products and assessing over 300 toxic sites. Collaborating with partners, we’ve supported blood lead level tests for over three thousand children and pregnant women. Our lead remediation initiatives achieved a remarkable 23% to 35% reduction in children’s blood lead levels, while also lowering average soil lead concentrations from 20,000 ppm to 55 ppm. Teaming up with government agencies, we implemented a Health and Pollution Action Plan, and in 2020, formed the Lead-Safe Bangladesh Coalition, comprising NGOs, INGOs, UN, researchers, academicians, and environmental health experts. Together, we’re reducing lead exposure, raising awareness, and implementing solutions to safeguard lives. Join us in solving lead pollution.
