unicefさんのインスタグラム写真 - (unicefInstagram)「1 in 3 children are poisoned by lead globally. Nearly half live in South Asia. ⠀ Often unwittingly and with life-altering consequences, children are growing up in harm's way, inhaling dust and fumes from unregulated used lead-acid battery recycling operations and open-air smelters, eating food contaminated by lead-glazed pottery and lead-infused spices, living in homes with peeling lead paint, playing with lead-paint decorated toys, drinking lead contaminated water and even working in lead-laced electronic waste dumps. The list goes on. ⠀ ⠀ Childhood lead exposure can lead to lower IQ levels, behavioural issues and increased risk of kidney damage and cardiovascular diseases in later life.⠀ ⠀ UNICEF and @pureearthnow are calling for urgent action including stronger environmental, health and safety legislation, and investment in health services to monitor, test and treat children’s exposure to lead.」8月3日 22時15分
