The lead effects in the drinking water have caused a massive public health crisis (“Scientific Opinion on the risks”, 2015). The whole crisis was as a result of poor management practices employed in the Flint water plant. The city decided to switch the

Back in April 2014, Flint Michigan, switched its water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint River. The government believed that this would be a great idea, because by them making this big switch they begin to start saving a lot of money. The new water that they now use is very polluted. This is the water that each and every person in Flint depends on to drink, cook with and to also bathe in. A lot of people have been affected by this change in water supply. As things begin to worsen the people in Flint, started to hear and become very familiar to lead poisoning. A significant amount of their victims have fallen victim to to being affected by the contaminated water, that everyone has been using. Doctors have noticed that the amount of lead found

All the controversy about the lead problems in Flint, Michigan has stirred up questions across the country. Every day there are several news stories about cities across the country discussing the lead issue and how they meet the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act. While the average person may feel comforted by these news stories, it doesn’t mean that every home served by the water supply has lead below the EPA’s recommended action level. It’s the job of water treatment professionals to educate those served by municipal water about the regulations surrounding lead and copper and what those consumers can do to protect themselves further.

Rachel reviewed 2nd qtr. Clinical Contract Indicators with the committee. There were concerns regarding LabCorp reporting for the 2nd qtr. Steve told the group that with Rachel’s help we plan to dig into the process and to see where it is breaking down and reach out to LabCorp to identify the issues and correct the issues. More discussion about LabCorp will be discussed in future meetings.

St. Joseph, Missouri is a small town in Missouri that has been referenced to be named one of the three thousand cities that has a bigger problem with lead poisoning than Flint, Michigan. When children are exposed to lead poisoning it can have effects on their developmental delays, and other physical and mental impairments. In St. Joseph many of the older houses contained lead paint, windows, and plumbing. Of all of the children in St. Joseph one hundred and twenty or fifteen percent of the children that had been tested had extremely high levels of lead in their system. They have decided as a community it would be a great idea to get ready of all of the lead, they want to do this in and order that was safe for everyone and they would not

The improved screening and treatment of lead poisoning decreased the severity of symptoms usually seen. However, the level of lead in the blood does not establish what symptoms are seen, since lead in blood only establishes current exposure. Recently, studies have shown that a long exposure to low amounts of lead may have severe neurobehavioral effects that are not diagnosed until the child enters school (Singhal et. al., 1980).

In Chapter 8 several different elemnts caught my attention, but the one topic that stood out amongs them all for me was the biology and envronment section dedicated to low level lead exposure.

Lead, a naturally occurring metal and can be used in almost everything. It can cause serious health issues if it is exposed for a long time, particularly in children as they are more susceptible to absorbing and retaining lead in their bodies. Each year, in the United States 310,000 of 1- to 5-year age group are found to have unsafe levels of lead in their blood, which can cause a wide range of symptoms. (1)

Parents should ensure that children with a history of elevated blood lead levels receive the services they are entitled to. Give children diets high in iron, calcium, and vitamin C.

Test on the Mount Isa residents showed that almost 10% of the population has concerning levels of lead, approximately 2250 people. Fortunately, the lead levels in children were lower than in adults. However, the longer the children live in the town, the more lead they will have in their blood stream. This is a very bad thing, as high lead-blood levels can lead to seizures, hair loss, anaemia and a number of problems with your

Lead exists in people’s environment such as air, soil, and water. In the past, people were exposed to lead because they were used to lead exposure in their daily activities. Workers and consumers used to use leaded gasoline and paints that contain lead. Also, there are different materials that contain

In 2013 there was an estimate of 853,000 deaths due to lead exposure due to extended health effects. The most affected was from low and middle-income individuals globally. Lead has also attributed to about 9 percent of worldwide of idiopathic intellectual disability, 4 percent of ischemic heart diseases and also 7 percent of stroke (WHO, 2016). Lead has be a plague to our water system for years, yet we struggle to find a solution to have safe water for
