 n of lead poisoning and efforts to address it\n\nThough lead's effects on 
 human development and health have been known for more than a millennium\, 
 the true global burden of lead exposure has come into clearer focus over t
 he past decade. The global implications of ongoing and past lead use are s
 ignificant and born primarily in low- and middle-income countries. This pr
 esentation will share the emerging global consensus on lead and describe i
 nternational efforts to address exposure. Dan will share some of Vital Str
 ategies' work in building the capacity of public health institutions and c
 linical care providers around the world to understand and respond\, and it
 s implications for children's development and reducing premature mortality
