A new study says the global toll of lead exposure is even worse than we thought

A new study finds that 5.5 million adults worldwide died in 2019 from cardiovascular disease attributable to lead exposure, more than six ti

On the World Health Organization's list of 10 chemicals of major public health concern, lead is a familiar villain. The toxic metal contaminates air, soil, water and food, and builds up inside bodies over time. Its most widely publicized health impact is neurological damage in children, often measured in the loss of intelligence quotient (IQ) points. But lead's pernicious effects don't stop in childhood nor at the brain. According to a new study in the journal Lancet Planetary Health, an estimated 5.455 million adults worldwide died in 2019 from cardiovascular disease (CVD) attributable to lead exposure — a toll more than six times higher than a previous estimate. The study goes on to provide what its authors say are the first monetary estimates of the total global cost of these lead-attributable deaths, along with the magnitude and cost of IQ loss in children under 5 years old. For 2019 alone, the study puts the combined toll of cognitive damage and CVD mortality at $6 trillion (based on projected loss of future income and an economic measure known as value of statistical life), with the greatest burden falling on low- and middle-income countries.

If you love someone can you tell them? Or would you be to scared? Would you ignore the person when they say it to you? That way you wouldn't have to say it back. I'm asking because I'm in love with this kinda loving sweet beautiful woman. I know that she loves me. I'm sure of that. But it's like she's afraid to tell it back. She did one time. Then played it off like she was high am it just came out. Why would someone who loves someone be afraid to tell them

Today I was shocked to learn that my mum and sister (who are both Australian) have never heard of the Great Emu War. This was literally the peak of Australian history! For those of you who don’t know, in 1932 Western Australia went to war with emus and lost. They had actual fucking military soldiers. With guns. And they lost. To emus. If that isn’t Australian culture summed up in one fact I don’t know what is.

wtf fact

hello tumblr I desire to know your wtf fact (what the fun fact) here are a few of mine: cucumbers, avocados & bananas are berries. strawberries & raspberries are not. t-rexes are more closely related to button quail then they are to the mosasaurus, lizards or snakes. iguanas are more closely related to snakes than they are to tegus. figs aren’t vegetarian as there’s at least 1 dead female wasp inside each one.
