𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆:Lead Is Still in Your Home and It’s Dangerous

In this 7DTV interview, entrepreneur and changemaker Lukas Helmbrecht takes us into the little-known but massive global health issue: lead contamination in everyday products. From toys and ceramics to cosmetics and household paint, lead is still widely present—especially in developing countries. What started as a university project evolved into a startup on a mission to eliminate toxic exposure worldwide. Lukas shares how his team at Unknown University of Applied Science tackled the problem with an affordable, consumer-friendly solution.

Lukas: “We realized this wasn’t just about old paint – lead is everywhere, and it’s silently damaging lives.”

Throughout the conversation, Lukas highlights the challenges of creating real impact: dealing with outdated regulations, cultural perceptions, and the logistics of testing in low-income areas. He’s not just building a business, but pushing a movement for awareness and change.
Lukas: “You can’t solve a problem people don’t even know exists. Education is as critical as innovation.”
