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

The Partnership for a Lead-Free Future hosted a 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 explored key considerations for performing lead exposure risk assessments in resource-constrained settings. It highlighted real-world case studies, including work in Nigeria and 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.
