Testing of toys and paints against the composition of lead will presumably begin starting June – Amiran Gamkrelidze, Head of National Center of Diseases Control and Public Health said.

The corresponding program was approved by the Georgian government last week. Pediatricians raised alarm about the increase of lead level in children, and air and soil were subjected to examinations. A special lab was established in Tbilisi to conduct the tests.
