Brief description of event
The National Program of Environmental Health Management (PNGSA) from the Ministry of Health of Bolivia, is working to strengthen the role and capacities of the Bolivian health sector to face the risks of the population exposed to dangerous substances such as lead, other heavy metals and chemical pesticides, among others. One of the main weaknesses identified by the PNGSA is the limited knowledge that health personnel have about the effects of chemical substances on health. This lies in the fact that clinical toxicology is not part of the training curriculum in medical schools. This gap later affects the lack of technical knowledge when evaluating signs and symptoms in acute and even more chronic poisoning. On the other hand, the PNGSA is also working on reaching the general population with information on health and chemical substances.

Title of event
Advancing work on lead: lessons learned from the work on lead in gasoline, lead in paint and used lead-acid batteries

Start date
25 Oct 2022

End date
25 Oct 2022

Brief description of event
Lead is a cumulative toxicant that poses serious risks to human health and development, with children being especially vulnerable. There is no known level of lead exposure without harmful effects, and even low levels may cause lifelong health problems and adverse environmental impacts. UNEP has been working on addressing the health and environmental impacts of lead since 2001, when a decision of the UNEP Governing Council “emphasized the importance of accelerating the process of eliminating the unsafe uses of lead and called upon Governments who had not yet done so to eliminate the use of lead in gasoline.” UNEP was mandated to initiate work on lead in petrol, lead in paint, leaded ammunition and used lead-acid batteries. WHO identifies lead among the top 10 chemicals of public health concern with almost 1 million attributable premature deaths. WHO provides countries with evidence-based norms and standards for exposure to lead in air, water and food and recommendations and technical support for preventing exposure and for the clinical management of persons exposed to lead from different sources. An annual campaign known as the International Lead Poisoning Prevention Week is organized in the third week of October each year and serves to raise awareness about the health effects of lead exposure and highlight the efforts of countries and partners to prevent lead exposure, particularly in children. The Basel Convention adopted in 2004 two technical guidelines to enhance the environmentally sound management (ESM) of lead in wastes. The technical guidelines on ESM waste lead-acid batteries and the Technical guidelines on the environmentally sound recycling/reclamation of metals and metal compounds (R4). In 2022, the Basel Convention initiated the updating of the Technical guidelines on ESM of lead-acid batteries published in 2004. Many international initiatives have taken place to support progress in this direction, as well as guidance and technical assistance, from a wide range of players. These include the campaign to eliminate lead as part of the Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles (PCFV), the Global Alliance to Eliminate Lead Paint (Lead Paint Alliance), the completion of a component on promoting regulatory and voluntary action by government and industry to phase out lead in paint in SAICM GEF Project issues of concern under the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM), the development of a Guidance Manual for Africa on the Environmentally Sound Management (ESM) of Waste or Used Lead Acid Batteries. To celebrate more than 20 years of efforts on lead and the 10th International Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, UNEP, WHO and the Secretariat of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions are organizing this webinar to reflect on global efforts, successes and lessons learned in tackling lead done within the organization and with partners and to discuss with interested stakeholders the way forward.
