"Lead is a neurotoxin; it causes premature deaths and lifelong negative effects. It’s said “there is no safe level of lead exposure” — as far as we know, any lead causes damage, and it just gets worse the more exposure there is.
After a 20-year, worldwide campaign, in 2021 Algeria became the final country to end leaded gasoline in cars — something the US phased out in 1996. That should make a huge difference to environmental lead levels. But lots of sources remain, from car batteries to ceramics...
Bangladesh phased out leaded gasoline in the 1990s. But high blood lead levels have remained. Why? When researchers Stephen Luby and Jenny Forsyth, doing work in rural Bangladesh, tried to isolate the source, it turned out to be a surprising one: lead-adulterated turmeric.
Turmeric, a spice in common use for cooking in South Asia and beyond, is yellow, and adding a pigment made of lead chromate makes for bright, vibrant colors — and better sales. Buyers of the adulterated turmeric were slowly being poisoned...
But there’s also good news: A recent paper studying lead in turmeric in Bangladesh found that researchers and the Bangladeshi government appear to have driven lead out of the turmeric business in Bangladesh.
How Bangladesh got serious about lead poisoning
The researchers who’d isolated turmeric as the primary cause of high blood lead levels —working for the nonprofit International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh — went to meet with government officials. They collected samples nationwide and published a 2019 follow-up paper on the extent of the problem. Bangladesh’s Food Safety Authority got involved.
They settled on a two-part approach, starting with an education campaign to warn people about the dangers of lead. Once people had been warned that lead adulteration was illegal, they followed up with raids to analyze turmeric and fine sellers who were selling adulterated products.
They posted tens of thousands of fliers informing people about the risks of lead. They got coverage in the news. And then they swept through the markets with X-ray fluorescence analyzers, which detect lead. They seized contaminated products and fined sellers.
According to the study released earlier this month, this worked spectacularly well. “The proportion of market turmeric samples containing detectable lead decreased from 47 percent pre-intervention in 2019 to 0 percent in 2021,” the study found. And the vanishing of lead from turmeric had an immediate and dramatic effect on blood lead levels in the affected populations, too: “Blood lead levels dropped a median of 30 percent.”
The researchers who helped make that result happen are gearing up for similar campaigns in other areas where spices are adulterated.
The power of problem-solving
...When the Food Safety Authority showed up at the market and started issuing fines for lead adulteration, it stopped being a savvy business move to add lead. Purchasers who were accustomed to unnatural lead-colored turmeric learned how to recognize non-adulterated turmeric. And so lead went from ubiquitous to nearly nonexistent in the space of just a few years.
That’s a better world for everyone, from turmeric wholesalers to vulnerable kids — all purchased at a shockingly low price. The paper published this month concludes, “with credible information, appropriate technology, and good enough governance, the adulteration of spices can be stopped.”
There’s still a lot more to be done. India, like Bangladesh, has widespread adulteration of turmeric. And safety testing will have to remain vigilant to prevent lead in Bangladesh from creeping back into the spice supply.
But for all those caveats, it’s rare to see such fast, decisive action on a major health problem — and impressive to see it immediately rewarded with such a dramatic improvement in blood lead levels and health outcomes. It’s a reminder that things can change, and can change very quickly, as long as people care, and as long as they act."

This is what currently happening in Bangladesh. Look at these pictures very carefully. Women protestors are being beaten to death by terrorist party Chaatra League which is working for the corrupted government of our Bangladesh. Yesterday, I heard that women students were receiving death threats, rape threats from Chaatra League activists. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina still continues to spread her lies and thus, embracing her fascist nature. Bangladesh Government is the living embodiment of Libya's Gaddafi situation.
If anyone has any twitter account, or Instagram, please share these tags which are given below on this post to help Bangladesh trending worldwide. This fascist government needs to step down before the destroy our nation's spirit. Tweet as much as possible. I'm not asking too much from any of you. But one tweet can save a thousand lives.

Never in my life did I imagine I’d have to email my professor and tell him that I know I was supposed to write a paper on the fast fashion industry and its impact using Bangladesh as case study and I know it’s worth like half my grade but fortunately for them, they happened to overthrow their government and unfortunately for me, this means that all their government websites are down which is kind of putting a damper on research for the paper so could please get an extension
#btw this user is a west bengali Bengali and fully supports his Bangladeshi siblings#I am very happy that they overthrew their government#more people need to overthrow their governments#hopefully this gives people the courage#and terrifies governments enough into actually acting for the people once again#Bangladesh#bengali#bengal#bangla#bangla news

"This week, the protests have spread far beyond campus grounds and grown into a larger movement against Hasina’s government, which has ruled since 2009.
Hasina is accused of overseeing rampant authoritarianism, police brutality and corruption, with her re-election in January boycotted by the opposition and widely documented as rigged.
The country’s economy has also suffered a severe economic downturn since the outbreak of Covid, leaving hundreds of millions unemployed and grappling with record inflation."

What's Happening in Bangladesh?
A very abhorrent and awful situation is taking place in my country right now. Reblog and share. Students throughout Bangladesh are protesting the Quota Movement for Government Jobs, especially the fact that a 30% quota is given to grandchildren of the Freedom Fighters that fought in the Liberation War which is absolutely absurd. What was supposed to be a peaceful protest turned into a bloodbath as the chhatro league and the police attacked and even unjustly murdered some of the protesters, not even sparing young children as a 2 year old was shot. These shits are attacking various areas and protesters are facing violence everywhere throughout the city. Our prime minister in response has the fucking audacity to call the protesters Rajakars (people who were against Bangladeshi Liberation) and consistently ignores and lies about the whole situation. Students left and right have been injured, maimed and killed and the opposition are using guns and tanks to hurt our students.
In truth, the real Rajakars are the pieces of shit government, the Awami League and sheikh hasina .
I implore anyone that sees this or any other posts about the situation in our country to SPREAD AWARENESS. Contact news channels and share information and if you have any information for the protesters share those. The world needs to know what is happening here. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you can join the fight for the rights of our students.
