Pure Earth
Pure Earth partners with governments, communities and industry leaders to identify and implement solutions that stop toxic exposures, protect health, and restore environments.
Pure Earth prioritizes actions to protect the developing brains and bodies of children and pregnant women living in toxic hot spots. We work to stop the multigenerational cycle of poisoning that is endemic in many low and middle-income countries.
They believe the pollution crisis can be solved. In a world where pollution doesn’t stop at borders, and we benefit from an interconnected global economy, we all have a responsibility to be part of the solution.
With 9 million deaths a year attributed to pollution, and over 90% of those deaths occurring in low- and middle income countries, the scale seems overwhelming and solutions elusive. But they are not. High-income countries went through the same trajectory of industrialization, suffering severe air, water and soil pollution with rivers on fire and thousands of toxic chemical waste sites.
Lumetallix Supports Pure Earth
Inspired by Pure Earth’s efforts to combat the global lead poisoning crisis, our founders recognized the immense potential of their lead detection discovery. They understood the urgent need for affordable, easy-to-use lead detection tools. That’s why we’re committed to donating a portion of each purchase of our Instant Lead Detection Kit to Pure Earth, supporting their proven solutions to reduce lead exposure and poisoning in some of the world’s most affected countries.
Lumetallix, Pure Earth and the Tauw Foundation worked together in India to evaluate over a dozen methods to detect lead in various environmental media to identify low-cost tools to scale up efforts to prevent lead exposure and poisoning. Watch the progress and results of our research New Methods of Detecting Lead in the Environment
