Research shows that exposure to lead-based paint can cause severe cognitive impairments, affecting learning ability, memory, and overall brain development.
In JoyNews' latest Hotline documentary, "American Paints: The Painter's Galamsey," an alarming presence of high-lead paints being sold on the Ghanaian market has been uncovered.
A groundbreaking study conducted by American researchers in collaboration with Ghana's regulatory agencies revealed dangerously high levels of lead in locally sold paints.
Out of 46 paint samples analyzed, 15 contained lead levels far above the acceptable limit of 90 parts per million (ppm).
