SUMMARY:New Findings on Blood Lead Levels in Georgia\, Cookware Contamination\, and a Lead Burden Index Tool
DESCRIPTION:Pure Earth and ISCHE present New Findings on Blood Lead Levels in Georgia\, Metal Cookware Contamination\, and Population Burdens\, which will spotlight three new studies that deepen our understanding of global lead exposure and its health impacts. This technical session will present fresh data and analytical tools for researchers\, policymakers\, and practitioners working to reduce lead exposure in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). \nResearchers will present on their latest findings\, which include a new metric\, the Cumulative Population Blood Lead Level (also referred to as the Lead Burden Index)\, which can help quantify the gross impact of lead exposure across regions\, and support governments\, funders\, and international agencies in prioritizing cost-effective interventions. \nWe’ll also present findings from an initial post-intervention blood lead level study in Poti\, Georgia (country)\, and a comprehensive analysis of leachable lead in aluminum cookware from 25 countries\, revealing continued risks from consumer products. \nThe briefing will be followed by a live audience Q&A. \nSpeakers include: \n\nEkaterine Ruadze\, MD\, DrPH National Center for Disease Control and Public Health\, Georgia\nAelita Sargsyan\, MD\, MPH\, Pure Earth\nGordon Binkhorst\, PhD\, Pure Earth\nRichard Fuller\, Pure Earth\nBruce Lanphear\, MD\, MPH\, Simon Fraser University\n\nWatch the Recording
