Pure Earth Bangladesh, a US-based environmental NGO registered in Bangladesh (Reg. No: 3366), leads evidence-based solutions for lead pollution in low and middle-income countries. Since 2011, we’ve researched hundreds of consumer products to find sources of lead, assessed 300+ toxic sites, and conducted over 3,000 blood lead level tests for children and pregnant women. Our lead-contaminated site remediation programs achieved a 35% reduction in children’s blood lead levels, lowering soil lead concentrations from 20,000 ppm to 55 ppm in many areas; saving the community and future generations from lead exposure. Partnering with government agencies, we launched a Health and Pollution Action Plan and established the Lead-Safe Bangladesh Coalition in 2020, uniting NGOs, INGOs, UN agencies, researchers, and health experts to take impactful actions. Together, we’re reducing lead exposure, raising awareness, and safeguarding lives.
