WHO calls for faster action to end deadly lead exposure

Original: WHO urges faster action to end lead exposure which kills 3.5 million annually

The World Health Organization is urging governments and industry to move faster to eliminate lead exposure, which it says kills about 3.5 million people every year. The UN health agency stresses that lead, found in paints, batteries and old pipes, causes lasting harm to health, especially in children, and that stronger regulation and cleanup are urgently needed worldwide.

Why now: The WHO has issued a new warning about the scale of lead-related deaths, drawing attention to a preventable global health crisis.
