The Global Lead egroup provides a discussion forum in which lead mining, smelting, manufacturing and recycling companies can share information on the management of lead and engage with the community and environmental organisations who seek improved lead stewardship and the global elimination of lead poisoning. Global Lead was set up by The LEAD Group - a community lead poisoning and lead contamination prevention non-government organisation in Australia, in September 2006. The LEAD Group has contributed to a booklet on Stewardship published by the Australian department of industry [at http://www.industry.gov.au/assets/documents/itrinternet/stewardship20061025160418.pdf] and is actively engaged with the eight Australian lead mining companies and many companies overseas involved in lead mines, smelters, used lead acid battery recycling, computer, electronics or e-waste recycling etc. Through it's free information and referral service, The LEAD Group has advised 51,000 enquirers from over 80 countries on lead poisoning and lead contamination prevention and management and over one third of a million people from 176 countries have visited our website - www.lead.org.au for such information. If you want to contribute to the elimination of the silent epidemic of lead poisoning and protect the environment from lead, then Global Lead is the egroup for you!
