dc.description	This document outlines the health risks, sources, and prevention measures associated with lead exposure, particularly from paint in Kenya. It explains that lead is toxic at all concentrations, with exposure arising from industrial activities, household materials, and deteriorating painted surfaces that generate airborne dust. The document describes severe impacts on children and pregnant women, including developmental damage and long-term disease. It highlights the availability of lead-free paint alternatives and the lack of regulatory enforcement as key challenges. The brochure also presents ongoing research, awareness initiatives, and collaborative programmes led by national institutions to reduce exposure, alongside recommended actions such as regulation, monitoring, safe practices, and public education.
