started this petition to
Paint consumers
This is the International Week of Action on Prevention of Lead Poisoning (October 20-26th 2013) announced by The United Nations Environmental Program aiming at addressing awareness raising on health hazards of lead and take action on preventing childhood lead poisoning including eliminating lead in paint.
Most of the manufacturers believe that only the colour and prize matters the most to the paint consumers. This is due to the lack of awareness on lead and paint and its effect on health. This petition intends to raise awareness and gather people to ask for non-leaded paint.
Lead in paint is a global issue discussed in many countries by today. The matter is simply cannot be ignored due to the effects bring down by toxicity of lead. The toxicity is merely understandable by the zero (0) tolerable blood lead level established by the World Health Organization. In addition, no level of exposure is considered safe.
