Lead in Solvent-Based Paints in Cameroon

This report presents new data on the total lead content of solvent-based paints available on the market in Cameroon. It also presents background information on why the use of lead paint is a source of serious concern, especially to children’s health; a review of national policy frameworks that are in place to ban or restrict the manufacture, import, export, distribution, sale, and use of lead paint, and provides a strong justification to strengthen compliance monitoring and enforcement of lead paint regulatory controls in Cameroon. Finally, it proposes action steps by different stakeholders to protect children and others from lead paint.
This study was conducted by Centre de Recherche et d’Education pour le Developpement (CREPD) in partnership with IPEN.
