  Lead poisoning

Moreover, children’s innate curiosity and their age-appropriate hand-to-mouth behaviour result in their mouthing and swallowing lead-containing or lead-coated objects, such as contaminated soil or dust and flakes from decaying lead-containing paint. This route of exposure is magnified in children with a psychological disorder called pica (persistent and compulsive cravings to eat non-food items), who may pick away at and eat leaded paint from walls, door frames and furniture. (...) However, more needs to be done to phase out lead paint; so far, only 45% of countries have introduced legally binding controls on lead paint . (...) WHO is also a partner in a project funded by the Global Environment Facility that aims to support at least 40 countries in enacting legally binding controls on lead paint  (3). The phasing out of lead paint by 2020 is one of the priority actions for governments included in the WHO  Road map to enhance health sector engagement in the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management towards the 2020 goal and beyond .
