“Not knowing whether there’s lead in your drinking water or not does not mean that it’s not actually there.”

Jennifer Hoponick Redmon spoke to @wabenews about progress made by Clean Water for Georgia Kids and the importance of testing for and removing lead from drinking and cooking water:

The North Carolina Science Festival returns this April for its 16th year with a clear message: Science Matters.

Presented by RTI International, NCSciFest connects communities across 100 North Carolina counties with hands-on STEM learning. With more than 4 million participants expected cumulatively, this year’s festival continues to show how science plays a role in everyday life.

Nearly 1 in 3 children globally are affected by lead exposure. Even low levels cause irreversible harm.

The source isn’t the water itself — it’s the pipes, fittings, and materials that leach lead into systems.

What needs to happen:
• Stop installing lead-containing components
• Strengthen standards and enforcement
• Replace high-risk infrastructure

Eliminating lead from drinking water is achievable with coordinated global action.

👀How to stop the flow of lead in new and existing drinking water systems 💦 https://t.co/b2MrwBc97Y

[WABE News @wabenews]

Over the past several years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has sent hundreds of millions of dollars to states so schools can test their water for lead. In Georgia, many schools have been slow to opt into testing, but a change in rules could make it easier for more schools to take advantage of the funding starting this year.

Clean water shapes more of our lives than we think — it’s in your coffee, your dinner, and even your beer. New study found PFAS in nearly every sample, highlighting how protecting our water means protecting the everyday things we enjoy. https://t.co/n2EmzmvMOu
