July 2021: Pure Earth

Abstract

In July 2021, the Global Health and Development Fund recommended a $5.67 million grant to Pure Earth to support its work on identifying and mitigating sources of lead exposure in low- and middle-income countries. Pure Earth’s work aims to address the problem of lead poisoning, which is a major global health issue affecting millions of people, particularly in developing countries. The grant will enable Pure Earth to expand its efforts to identify and remediate lead-contaminated sites, raise awareness about the dangers of lead exposure, and advocate for policies to reduce lead pollution. – AI-generated abstract.
