@Frank_Pega We also published another study reporting on respirable silica among informal miners ASGM in #Nigeria but just after your cutoff
Very important summary but unfortunately they missed our important study of silica exposures among informal stone crushing workers in #india at okinternational.org/docs/IJOEH%20g…
I gave an interview for NPR on our new article on silicosis due to engineered stone among immigrant workers in California. npr.org/sections/healt…
More cases of silicosis identified in California among counter top workers cutting artificial quartz -- 27% misdiagnosed with #tuberculosis as is common in many LMICs npr.org/sections/healt…
Exporting US Lead Pipes and Solutions to this Environmental Justice Problem Webinar tomorrow: Link to register: pitt.zoom.us/j/93974272881 @CaitSchroering @casacem @occupknowledge @charlotbrody @CLASPITT @PittMCSI
Why is lead poisoning a huge problem in #India? Because there are 672 "authorized" small lead battery recyclers for a battery market that is approximately the same size as the U.S. which has 10 large lead smelters...small recycling plants can't afford environmental controls
But lead paint is not banned as it continues to be used outside of homes
The Biden administration on Wednesday moved to reduce children’s exposure to lead, proposing stricter limits on dust from lead-based paint in older homes and child-care facilities ti.me/46LgeDE
But @EPA must tell grantees not to allow ised lead pipe to be exported to polluting recyclers in low income countries #EnvironmentalJustice

Unfortunately what this article does not mention is that current efforts to replace lead pipes are sometimes leaving pipes in the ground that may also contribute to soil and water contamination
AT&T, Verizon and other telecom giants have left behind a sprawling network of cables covered in toxic lead that stretches across the U.S., under the water, in the soil and on poles overhead, a WSJ investigation found on.wsj.com/44gxkrz
#LeadPaint remains an issue in Cameroon Cameroon despite the 2017 landmark regulation banning all #Paint with more than #90ppm lead. We are testing to inform full enforcement @ChemandWaste @IPEN_AF @ToxicsFree @UNEP
Another example of @ASTM works against public health to prolong use of lead fuel for airplanes in the interest of corporations who control this organization “The question asked in ASTM meetings is, essentially, ‘What is in this for my company?’” politico.com/news/2023/02/2…

A large group of NGOs @Greenpeace sign letter asking @UNEP to adopt a conflict of interest disclosure policy to stop putting out reports without disclosing financial and other conflicts of the authors -- this is needed by all @UN agencies! greenpeace.org/static/planet4…
Another example of UNEP and other UN agencies that put out reports without conflict of interest disclosure statements

The US lead market has become more dependent on imports since @Brookfield closed the Florence, SC battery recycling plant in 2021 to export used lead batteries to more polluting plants in #Mexico
The costs of cleaning up lead contamination from legacy lead battery recycling plants just keeps going up and this is just about one facility of many.... latimes.com/environment/st…
Our article Lead Industry Influence in the 21st Century chronicles the lead industry’s actions to promote the “safe and responsible” use of lead, question science and forestall regulations on lead emissions and lead use restrictions. ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/10.2105/AJ…
