Pure Earth
Pure Earth is a global leader in improving public health and development outcomes by reducing exposure to lead and other toxic pollutants.
Where does your country rank on lead exposure? Pure Earth's new prioritization tool on leadpollution.org lets you explore the latest IHME data on childhood lead poisoning ranked by country.
The tool is designed for researchers, funders, and program implementers who need reliable, up-to-date estimates to guide decisions. Filter and compare across multiple indicators, including per-capita exposure, severity, and cardiovascular outcomes, to build a scoring system tailored to your needs.

How do you stop a problem you can't yet see clearly? In much of the world, the basic facts of childhood lead exposure remain unmapped: where the lead comes from, who is most affected, and how it moves through food, soil, and water. Closing that gap is some of the most urgent work in global health today.
That's the idea behind the Pure Earth Opportunity Fund, a new mechanism to support strategic, short-term projects that advance our communal understanding of lead poisoning prevention, interventions, and policies.
Out of 190 applications from around the world, we selected eight organizations for our 2026 cohort, each receiving a 12-month grant. Their projects span continents and approaches, from analyzing lead in fish, staple foods, and cookware, to mapping environmental hotspots and tracing regional lead trade routes.
Over the next year, their findings will deepen what researchers and policymakers understand about how lead reaches the people most at risk, and what it takes to stop it.
