Uranium was detected in a majority of U.S. public water systems with the highest concentrations in semi-urban, Hispanic communities, write @ColumbiaMSPH researchers in a new study.
Professor @Annie_Nigra breaks down the results: https://t.co/QBYet5bPJ8
Hispanic communities in the US have water systems w/ high levels of uranium, selenium, barium, chromium + arsenic, uncovering the need to "protect the most highly exposed communities to advance environmental justice and protect public health" @annie_nigra https://t.co/xNxUCLGODi
So excited to share this work looking at inorganic contaminants in water systems across the US! Important information on exposure inequalities for U, Ba, Cr, Se, and As @annie_nigra @anavasac

Ironing a wrinkled literature to understand the potential benefits of metal chelation. Systematic reviews always painful but so insightful to guide science and clinical practice - while waiting for #TACT2
So excited to share that my first paper on environmental cardiology has just been published! Impossible to have done this work without my incredible mentors and collaborators @anavasac@GLamasMD@UjuetaFrancisco @xaviervel https://t.co/vdxLG4ry4E
