I'm happy to share that my dissertation research is now published!

New @CGDev paper!

What can you actually do about lead poisoning? Nutritional supplements probably help a bit, are very cheap, but far from solve the problem.

A systematic review/meta-analysis of a very thin literature (more research needed!)

"Sherwin Williams, the largest global United States-based paint company, continues to sell lead paints in Mexico."

[Center for Global Development @CGDev]

Did you know 1 in 10 toys imported from China contains high levels of lead? 🧸

With the rise of low-cost e-commerce, these products are reaching children faster than ever, often with little oversight.

Caroline Mallory and @Mariajot explain why toys can’t remain an afterthought. https://t.co/MTUYkhFOK1

[Lee Crawfurd @leecrawfurd]

There's lead in those toys. In 10-40% those in LMICs.

5 mil millones... sí, han recibido una vacuna vs Covid.

Si fueran en ABSOLUTO tan inseguras como los antivacunas quieren hacerte creer, deberíamos haber tenido una extinción masiva de la población global para hoy

No la hemos tenido

Están mintiendo

It was an honor to speak at the BRS COP youth side event "Children’s Environmental Health in the BRS Conventions: Multistakeholder Workshop on Future Data and Policy Priorities"

@brsmeas @UNMGCY "Children are central but are still overlooked in the policy realm."

Maria Jose Talayero Schettino of @chemwasteyouth highlights how vulnerable children and youth are most affected that remain least protected, highlighting need need to tackle this environmental justice issue.

[Little Things Matter @littlethingsmtr]

A landmark study by the INSP found that lead poisoning in Mexican children leads to an average IQ loss of 4 points and a staggering $33 billion (USD) in lifetime income losses, equivalent to 2.8% of Mexico’s GDP.

Las cariopatías congénitas son la segunda causa de muerte en niños <5 años en México.
Nuestro estudio encontró que en municipios con más industria contaminante en México, el riesgo de tener una cardiopatía congénita es mayor. La falta de acceso a salud agrava el problema.

[Maria Jose Talayero @Mariajot]

¡Parte de mi tesis fue publicada!

Encontramos que la contaminación industrial y la falta de acceso a la salud están relacionadas con un mayor número de casos de cardiopatías congénitas, una de las principales causas de muerte infantil en México.

@AndreaGropman Thanks for your support Dr. Gropman!

[#BreakFreeFromPlastic @brkfreeplastic]

According to the @UNEP, 60% of the plastic recycled across the world is collected by waste pickers. While their contribution to the community is vital, they are often unrecognised, unprotected and discriminated against.

[Alice Evans @_alice_evans]

"30% of Latin American children still show blood lead levels above 5 μg/dL"

Lead poisoning is high near mining cites, battery disposal, and contaminated industrial areas.

This rots kids' brains - hurting their cognitive development & elevating risks of violence.
