More about this course
  • This course offers learners the chance to learn why tackling lead poisoning is important and explore how lead poisoning impacts health services and policy around the world.
  • Lead is a toxic metal and its widespread use has caused extensive environmental contamination and health problems in many parts of the world.
  • Recent reductions in the use of lead in petrol, paint, plumbing, and solder have resulted in a substantial reduction in population-level mean blood lead concentrations.

  • You will also explore and evaluate the different public health models used around the world to prevent lead poisoning.
  • The blood lead concentration for notification and intervention is being reduced in England.
