Pure Earth was honored to participate in the World Bank Regional Dialogue on Mercury and E-Waste Pollution Management in Tanzania earlier this month. Rev. Dr. Esmond Quansah, Pure Earth Ghana's Country Director, shared our innovative copper plate technology to remove mercury from gold mining tailings. Dr. Quansah also participated in a panel discussion on mercury-free mineral processing, sharing insights on reducing pollution and advancing sustainable practices. This vital gathering was part of the Africa Environmental Health and Pollution Management Program, aimed at addressing pressing environmental issues and explore sustainable solutions across participating African countries, including Ghana, Kenya, Senegal, Tanzania, and Zambia, along with other international organizations.

Exciting times indeed as new cooking pots were handed over to schools in Ashaiman. Pure Earth has been carrying out an assessment of #lead in cookware in #educational institutions. According to the findings of the study, Pure Earth identified high lead levels in cookware used in preparing food for the children, as part of the #riskmitigation plan, Pure Earth Ghana being led by the country director Esmond Wisdom Quansah replaced the leaded cookware in participating schools with #cookware having lead concentrations below the recommended levels.

A week ago, we organized an insightful National Dialogue on Lead Pollution and Poisoning which brought together key stakeholders to discuss the issue of Lead Poisoning and Pollution, and way forward to address it in the country.

Thank you for being part of the National Dialogue on Lead Pollution and Poisoning! Let’s work together towards a lead-free future in Ghana, ensuring a safer and healthier environment for all. #ILPPW24 #LeadFreeReality 

I was privileged to join the National Pb Dialogue organized by Pure Earth Ghana with partnership support from the UNICEF Ghana and USAID . On behalf of Green Advocacy Ghana (GreenAd) , we congratulate Pure Earth for this milestone!!! We have come a long way and there is a lot more to do. As part of my contribution to the dialogue, I applauded the works of our scientists but hinted on the need to improve communication of scientific findings in innovative ways to increase the reach, assimilation and impact of their works. Kafui DEY, I appreciate the efforts you are willing to put into this to project our scientific findings in a more interactive and understandable way to the wider populace. Let’s fight for a lead(Pb) free Ghana!!!

What an impactful day! Thank you to everyone who joined us for the national dialogue on lead poisoning and pollution, marking Pure Earth’s 25th anniversary. Together with UNICEF Ghana and USAID, we took crucial steps towards a lead-free future. #ILPPW24 #LeadFreeReality
