RE: DHHS Document in MDEQ FOIA

There are also e-mails missing from Karen Lishinski. She notes Mona and Dr. Reynolds requested blood lead data in one e-mail, and Mona says she requested the data by e-mail on September 8th. Yes that e-mail was not produced. Obviously, she has a lot to hide. You are going to have to do an electronic records request from backup and servers. She is not trustworthy. Don’t waste your time asking for voluntary compliance. Marc

Re: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MDHHS releases latest data outlining blood lead levels

in Flint; Follow-up care, case management resources continue for families Good afternoon, Andy , This is a public health surveillance report to show the tracking of blood lead testing in Flint. This reflects increased screening and testing that is occurring in the face of increased public health and healthcare provider and researcher responses, including Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, Dr Edwards, Reynolds, etc. As in many public health surveillance systems, surveillance reports may serve different functions. This one is to simply track the progress of testing and proportions of EBLs over the coming year (as you know, with seasonality, | am quite interested in Q3's each year to assess impact of lead programs, and will not be falsely reassured by Q4 and Q1 data points). | would hope that you realize that surveillance reports, as this one will be, are regularly developed and this will be updated on a weekly to bi-weekly basis through the coming months (years?). T The issues of spatial clustering and associations with lead lines, etc have already begun to be ascertained by our colleagues at Hurely and WSU, and | hope that those can continue.

Re: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MDHHS releases latest data outlining blood lead levels in Flint; Follow-up care,

case management resources continue for families Dr. Wells, xxxEND_PAGE:dhhs02_b1244_4694_4698_1 004695 What is the goal of releasing this data? Especially as it comes on the heels of Dr. Edwards finding that the water is not safe, yet. In my humble opinion, it continues to show the state is telling a story that is not reflective of the reality that residents are living with. Throughout this process, we have discussed repairing the trust relationship between the government and the residents of the City of Flint needs and | believe this only further erodes that trust. | also believe that the community very much needs high-level data. They have responded with remarkable understanding to both Drs. Edwards and Hana- Attisha so | hope you follow their pattern and share the most meaningful data. To start that means not lumping 17-7- year-olds with infants and recognizing lead has a half-life. What is bound to happen is the media will ask experts about this and the experts will highlight discrepancies in the rationale and data and the community is back to square one knowing that the people charged with getting this right still can't quite do it. Thanks, Andy

Dr. Wells, Once you engage in a home inspection there is no doubt we should be doing full abatement but speaking about paint and soil in the same breath as the water that clearly doubled EBL seems disingenuous. No doubt Flint had lead previously and will continue to have lead in the built environment, but looking at Flint's EBL pre-switch compared to other communities of similar age and make-up seems to indicate that Flint was doing fairly well at lowering levels before the water. We cannot rest on the fact that DWSD fixes the lead problem, but we also cannot conflate the catastrophe of the water with general lead risks. Anyone who does that will not be taken seriously by Flint residents.

Howard, For clarity, of those hundreds of samples how many are with the flawed sampling method and how many are done with the appropriate sampling method? Thanks, Andy

Hi Howard, Can you confirm when Flint will move away from the testing mode that includes flushing? Thanks, Howard: Thanks for arranging the maating today. i didn’t catch all of what Natasha (and others} said on the fine bub was intrigued when | heard her rnention @ fact sheet or some information on Lead that was taken from a city in MA. Can you/she forward that URL for our review and consideration? During the fast call, | alse noted my concern regarding boll advisories during a lead ernergency and wanted to provide a fink that documented what i said about Lead (and nitrates for that matter) being concerttrated upon heating. ‘py Lastly, | couldn’t hear who made the comment, but i agree that infants are likely the most vulnerable of concern. So, i was wondering if the clinicians/health practitioners in the room might consider partnering or spearheading an outreach effort te target axnectant mothers with the Filters that are being provided. Not sure if this is best done via prenatal clinics, delivery hospitals, OB-GYN departments, or lactation management specialists, etc. The public health practitioners might also be able to use this emergency as another reason to advocate breastfeeding (vs infant formula).
