Lead-Free Future for Every Child Webinar Series: How to conduct an environmental lead exposure risk assessment

The Partnership for a Lead-Free Future invites you to join this webinar, designed to provide practical guidance on conducting environmental risk assessments. In this context, a risk assessment focuses on identifying and evaluating lead exposure risks in children’s environments.

This session will explore key considerations for performing lead exposure risk assessments in resource-constrained settings. It will highlight real-world case studies, including Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)’s work in Nigeria and Pure Earth’s initiatives in the Philippines. These examples are intended to complement existing resources, such as the Assessing Environmental Lead Exposure in Resource-Constrained Settings report.

This webinar is part of the Lead-Free Future for Every Child series and marks the third installment. Be sure to revisit earlier sessions: the first webinar, which explores sources of childhood lead exposure, and the second, which delves into conducting blood lead level surveys.
