Some spray paints sold in Davao contain toxic lead.
Lead is a toxic chemical that can pollute the environment and harm human health.
The sale of leaded spray paints is illegal and goes against the DENR-issued Chemical Control Order banning lead-added paints.
Davao City Ordinance No. 0461-18 also prohibits the manufacture, distribution, and sale of paints with lead above the 90 ppm limit.
X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) chemical screening performed by the EcoWaste Coalition found that some spray paints contained violative levels of lead.
EcoWaste Coalition urges the city authorities to conduct law enforcement action to halt this unlawful trade that threatens public health.
