Global Report on the Status of Legal Limits on Lead in Paint

Published: 2016

Global Report on the Status of Legal Limits on Lead in Paint is a United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) commissioned report authored by the TAI secretariat with research conducted by many TAI partners. The report produced by UNEP in partnership with the US-based World Resources Institute (WRI) shows the challenges of meeting Vision 2020 despite global progress to establish lead controls. The vision has a goal that by 2020 all countries enact laws to control the production, import, sale and use of lead paints.  To date only 36 per cent of countries have legally binding limits on lead paint.
