    स्टान्फोर्ड देखि बंगलादेशसम्म: बेसारमा लिड को महामारीको कसरि समाधान भयो ?

    Upaaya Lab मा स्वागत छ। म आज एक यस्तो मौन नरसंहारको कथा भन्नेछु जसले हाम्रो भान्छा र स्वास्थ्यमा सीधा असर गर्छ। सन् २०१४ मा डा. जेना फोर्सेथले बंगलादेशको पब्ना जिल्लामा एउटा डरलाग्दो कुरा पत्ता लगाइन्—बेसारमा ज्यानमारा 'लिड क्रोमेट' (Lead Chromate) को मिसावट। यो अमेरिकाको फ्लिन्ट जल संकटभन्दा ६ गुणा बढी खतरनाक थियो। एउटी वैज्ञानिकको कडा मिहिनेत र सरकारको कडाइले बंगलादेश कसरी यो विषबाट मुक्त भयो? पूरा कथा हेर्नुहोला र अरूलाई पनि सचेत गराउनुहोला।Welcome to Upaaya Lab. Today, I tell the story of a silent genocide that impacts our health directly. In 2014, Dr. Jenna Forsyth discovered a deadly secret in Pabna, Bangladesh: the adulteration of turmeric with toxic Lead Chromate. It was 6 times more dangerous than the Flint water crisis. How did a scientist's hard work and government action free Bangladesh from this poison? Watch the full story and help spread awareness.Disclaimer: Viwes are mine, not of my employer.
