PollutionDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) focused on reducing #pollution to protecting public health and the #environment. Joins us!
We reached over 700 million people around the world last month with the release of a new report in @TheLancetPlanet detailing the progress made (and not made) on the global pollution crisis.
See what the world is talking about: https://t.co/XKICTIcG2r #SolvePollution
@punk6529 Hoping to find smart DAO folks in here that could help us structure Pollution DAO, which will focus on addressing challenges related to toxic chemical pollution, particularly in lower-income countries. We have lots of pollution experience, but less DAO experience. Dm to chat.

This is an important development in our global fight against pollution. High-level initiatives like this can seem too removed from problems on the ground to make a difference, but they are important tools to motivate decision-makers and provide justification for increased action.
Our latest factsheet puts a spotlight on the #UNEA5 decision of establishing a science-policy panel that will bolster international action on #chemicals, #waste & #pollution by strengthening the science-policy interface.

Is a DAO an effective organizational structure to fight #pollution? Honestly, we're not sure, but experimenting with emerging tools to augment existing efforts and bring in new actors seems like a worthy endeavor. One thing is clear: we need to do more.

The new @TheLancetPlanet report published yesterday finds that pollution is responsible for a staggering 9 million premature deaths worldwide. To explore the full findings of the report, visit https://t.co/j3pU5BVkhR. #SolvePollution#PollutionCommission
The study authors came up with eight recommendations to reduce pollution deaths...
"We absolutely know how to solve each one of those problems... What's missing is political will." -- Richard Fuller, CEO Pure Earth and lead author of study. https://t.co/iURsrVMK07
The landmark Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health has been updated. The TL/DR: pollution now causes 1 in 6 deaths. In addition to air pollution, lead exposure is the largest driver of disability and death among all chemicals.

@elonmusk If you like the environment and web3 and don't feel like the current system is working to effectively and measurably mitigate pollution, come join us @pollutionDAO and help build a decentralized organization focused on concrete results.
💯🎯. Integrating blood lead level testing into existing national health surveys in low- and middle-income countries unlocks the potential for much more efficient interventions to prevent #leadexposure and #leadpoisoning. Brilliantly argued and 100% needed.🤝

An obscene number of children around the world are lead poisoned--almost all of whom live in LMICs. But we don't actually know who, where, how, or how many. And without that basic foundational understanding, it's hard to start addressing the problem.

Combating #lead adulteration in food may be one of the most cost-effective measures to reduce the staggering prevalence of #leadpoisoning in low- and middle-income countries. Spice interventions are a promising, replicable intervention model.
#environmentalhealth@pollution#SDGs
When the Republic of Georgia found that 41% of children in the country were lead poisoned, they realized they needed to act. In under 2 years, Pure Earth investigators were able help to stem the source of poisoning. Read this success story: https://t.co/9ZujJKKsoy #LeadSolutions
In March, #environmental leaders from around the world adopted a resolution at the UN Environment Assembly to establish a science policy panel to advance the sound management of #chemicals and waste and prevent #pollution. Bravo.

@UNEP will host an international science policy panel on chemicals and pollution (like the IPCC) and we’re here for it. Excited to watch this take shape.
@UNEP_FI we are building a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) focused on addressing exposure to chemical pollution. We’re just getting started. Would you help harness this emergent technology and organizational tool to advance solutions with us? We’d welcome a chat.
📢Stakehodlers' inputs on the draft @UNEP Lead Paint Law Compliance and Enforcement Guidance are wanted!
🗓Deadline for comments: May 10
