International Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (ILPPW)

The Global Alliance to Eliminate Lead Paint is a voluntary partnership formed by UN Environment and the World Health Organization to prevent exposure to lead, while promoting the phase-out of paints containing lead. Every year, the Lead Paint Alliance organizes the International Lead Poisoning Prevention Week to provide an opportunity for organizations and institutions around the world to focus attention on lead. The theme this year is the need for individuals, civil society organizations, industry and governments to work together to Ban Lead Paint.. The official website for the ILPPW is maintained by the World Health Organization.
