This is ridiculous. The way water lead testing is done by the state and city purposefully limits lead in water.
And as recommended yesterday, the preflushing for home testing should be stopped.

In addition, we did not screen blood lead for school age kids nor infants at greatest risk.
This is an attempt to minimize the problem.

If EBLLs are due to sources other than water,why did the frequency double only in Flint and not
other areas in Genesee County.Why in wards where they were already high before the change
in water source? Or did paint chips become more tasty on the inside of Flint only but not
across the street on the fringes ?
Is the DEQ working with MDHHS and local epidemiologists or just their chemists ?
Why are BLLs not higher in the catchment areas for the schools with the higher WLLs?
Are there mitigating factors in the tested schools's student population ?
Check out BLLs in children under 2 or three before BLLs decline and they start school
Does this mean lead in city water is ok ?
We have repeatedly stated that the powder formula fed children under 6-12 months of age are
at the greatest risk and the least tested. Add pregnant and breast feeding women with adults
with decreased renal function or failure.
This appears to be an attempt to divert scrutiny or , at best , an answer to another
question .The decision to not monitor schools until recently is in itself problematic .There has
always been the school problem ,which is a separate issue,perhaps exacerbated by water
quality.
