Lead poisoning from all sources of lead causes an estimated 1.06 million deaths a year, not just lead paint.

"Important sources of environmental contamination include mining, smelting, manufacturing and recycling activities, and, in some countries, the continued use of leaded paint, leaded gasoline, and leaded aviation fuel."
