Description
Dali Kekelidze, Mari Malazonia, David Tsereteli, and Iagor Kalandadze published this public health survey in 2024. It measures what adults in the country of Georgia know about lead poisoning, a serious and preventable harm, above all for children. Interviewers spoke with 384 adults on the street in three municipalities, Batumi, Ozurgeti, and Zugdidi, between March and June 2024.
Most people knew that children face high risk from lead. Toys were widely recognized as a source, but few knew lead also hides in jewelry and cosmetics, with the gap largest in Ozurgeti. Many were unaware that lead poisoning can cause heart and blood vessel disease, anemia, and kidney failure. The authors call for more education campaigns that name the hidden sources and the full range of harms.
