For this year's Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, SCS Global Services is proud to highlight its role in protecting public health through the Lead Safe Paint® certification program, a critical initiative aimed at eliminating lead exposure from paints that can cause irreversible damage to the developing brains of children. This certification program, developed by the International Pollutants Elimination Network (IPEN) and administered by SCS, verifies that paint products contain no more than 90 parts per million (ppm) of lead—the most stringent global standard. Jeiel Guarino, Global Lead Paint Elimination Campaigner, at IPEN notes, "Brands that carry the Lead Safe Paint® logo promote consumer access to independently verified lead-safe paints, which then helps governments, homeowners, housing developers, school administrators, business establishments, and other paint consumers in selecting products that will not leave a toxic legacy behind.” Read the full press release on our website: https://hubs.la/Q03NVBbh0 Learn more about the Lead Safe Paint® certification program here: https://hubs.la/Q03NVytV0
