Lead in Water Put Kids at Risk, Study Says
Hundreds of children in the Washington D.C. area were exposed to dangerous levels of lead for city tap water from 2001 to 2003, a new study has concluded. According to the study, to be published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, some infants and toddlers in high-risk neighborhoods were exposed to potentially IQ-damaging lead levels when lead leaching into the water supply starting in 2001. The results of the new study contradict safety reports issued by federal and local officials
