Supply Chain Analysis of Aluminium Cookware across Tamil Nadu
CAG, in collaboration with Pure Earth, conducted a study to analyse the supply chain of aluminium cookware in selected locations of Tamil Nadu. The project aims to highlight the issues of lead contamination within the aluminium cookware industry in the region.
Contamination of lead beyond permissible levels in aluminium utensils has been a festering problem in low- and middle-income countries, with the effects marked among the low-income population. Globally, several studies have indicated that children exposed to lead show stunted brain development, lower IQ, and attention issues. These have long term consequences including underperformance in school. A recent study in Bihar, India, found that 90% of homes with lead-poisoned children had aluminium cookware whose lead content exceeded prescribed limits, indicating a strong link between lead poisoning and the use of such cookware.
