The document is a calendar from the Lead-Safe World organization that highlights the Volcano Art Prize, which aims to raise awareness of lead safety. It features winning artworks from the prize that convey messages about eliminating lead from things like paint, toys, water and other sources of exposure. The calendar also notes that Australia marks an annual Lead Poisoning Awareness Week in October and that the WHO is working to establish an international day of action on lead poisoning prevention.

Lead-Safe World CALENDAR 2013 The Volcano Art Prize is designed to raise awareness and generate positive images and messages about lead safety, and is an initiative of the Lead Education and Abatement Design (LEAD) Group Incorporated. The LEAD Group Inc is an Australian-based, not-for-profit environmental health charity which is working to eliminate lead poisoning globally, and to protect the environment from lead in all its uses. The LEAD Group would like to thank Tony Lennon for his expert administration of the inaugural Volcano Art Prize 2012 and the resulting 2013 Calendar.
