A resolution expressing concern about the elevated levels of lead in one-third of the world's children and the global causes of lead exposure, and calling for the inclusion of lead exposure prevention in global health, education, and environment programs abroad.
SRES 654 is a Senate resolution expressing concern about lead exposure affecting approximately 800 million children globally, citing World Health Organization data on lead's harmful effects on brain development and health. It calls on the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to integrate lead exposure prevention into international health, education, and environmental programs abroad. The resolution specifically urges USAID to address lead risks from sources like contaminated consumer goods and recycling practices in low-income countries. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but seeks to influence U.S. international development priorities.
