Title of event:: Lead in Paint campaign
Brief description of event:: International lead poisoning prevention week of action 20-26 October 2013. Even though there is wide recognition of this problem and many countries have taken action, exposure to lead, particularly in childhood, remains of key concern to health care providers and public health officials worldwide.Paints containing high levels of lead are still widely available and used in many countries for decorative purposes, although good substitutes without lead are available. This is an opportunity to mobilize political and social commitment for further progress. During the campaign week, the Global Alliance to Eliminate Lead Paint aims to:Raise awareness about lead poisoning;Highlight countries and partners' efforts to prevent childhood lead poisoning; andUrge further action to eliminate lead paint.
