TLAP

The TLAP goal is to enhance the existing community blood lead reduction initiatives to further reduce blood lead levels in children in Port Pirie.

The TLAP (Targeted Lead Abatement Program) goal is to enhance the existing community blood lead reduction initiatives to in children. Specifically TLAP will aim to increase the percentage of children in Port Pirie aged 0 to 4 years who have blood lead levels within the NHMRC guidelines to 95% within 10 years. Nyrstar Redevelopment delivers continued support for community exposure reduction programs. In parallel with the redevelopment project a new Targeted Lead Abatement Program (TLAP) was implemented. TLAP has been developed to assess current and potential future community lead exposure reduction strategies and assess which are likely to have the greatest impact on reducing children’s blood lead levels. Nyrstar has committed up to AUD 3 million per annum for up to 10 years and a further AUD 5 million to accelerate the objectives of TLAP. The AUD 3 million is representative of Nyrstar previous financial commitments. The South Australian Government will commit approximately AUD 1.5 million per annum for up to 10 years. A joint Nyrstar and SA Government Committee has been formed to facilitate the implementation of TLAP.

Make water your family's go-to drink. Try to skip the sugar drinks like juice, cordial, iced coffee, and soft drinks. Sticking to water most of the time is a simple win for everyone's health.

When reaching for water, always use the tap water in your home.
Rainwater is great for the garden, but it’s not recommended for drinking.
