What title should they have used.

If you look at the URL it should be "bangladesh-tumeric-lead-poisoning-contamination-public-health"

https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2023/9/20/23881981/bangla...

If you look at the bold text at the beginning of the article it should be "Lead poisoning kills millions annually. One country is showing the way forward."

Underneath the bold text is smaller text "How Bangladesh removed lead from turmeric spice — and saved lives."

The URL is not the title and should not be used as such. It’s just a convenient way of accessing the article later. There are several reasons why URLs can (and often do) differ from the titles, it would be a terrible policy to base the HN story titles on them.

The submitter can suggest a title, but hn will change the title on submission in many cases.

Did we all forget title tags exist or something?

> How Bangladesh saved lives by getting lead out of tumeric spice

That's the title of the article and it's pretty close to the submission.
