You are SO great, thank, you---that WAS my suspicion!

5 aaa Contarninant Testing NSF info at this page indicates that filters certified for copper reduction can take 2 3 ppm or 3000 ppb level down to 1300 ppb. Not good enough for peapie with Wilsan Disease who need copper <100. None of the filters certified to remove copper that | can see are also certified to remove lead. Lisa is at a meeting in WI. She can confirm if she’s able to see her e-mail,

Linda and Lisa---Just following up. Do the filters that | send you in lat evenings email for Dr. C reduce copper to below 100 PPB, and if so, are they NSF certified to m=remove lead also? | promised Dr. C | would follow up with her about this---even though | am concerned about need to directly link with the providers.

The copper issue is really going to be one for a few individuals if any, and copper removal would babe an issue for them pre and post river switch- per my other email | am trying to caution making recommendations we are not qualified to make... Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message:

Thank you so much!

Eden, To answer your questions: - Ifa filter is certified to Standard 53 it has different certifications for the contaminants that are removed. None of the faucet mount filters are certified to remove copper but | am attaching a performance data sheet for a Brita faucet filter (someone mentioned Brita filters) which is certified to remove lead. - Lead occurs in a dissolved and particulate form depending on the pH. The filters are tested at pH 6.5 and 8.4 and at differing alkalinity. - lam attaching a copy of the Brita faucet filter performance data sheet — | do not know if this is particular model that was given out. - This filter was tested to remove lead at levels of 150 ppb in water for 100 gallons reducing it to 10 ppb which is less that the EPA action level of 15 ppb . - It has an indicator light that turns for green to yellow to red indicating how much life the filter has remaining. The filter turns red at 100 gallons but it is tested to remove 120 gallons as a safety factor.

1 xxxEND_PAGE:deq21_b009_0009_0011_1 Linda Thanks for the additional information. As a follow-up to my earlier message, the National Science Foundation is apparently arranging funding to several investigators to evaluate the engineering aspects of the Flint water system to find a solution. Although Flint has initiated plans to construct a water line that will tap into Lake Huron as their water source, they may still have issues with their aging water distribution system. NIEHS wanted to know if ATSDR, MDHHS, or Flint Health Dept is planning to evaluate the public health implications of the problems in the water system. As you know, NCEH has both a Safe Water Program and a Lead Program that could possibly be involved, but only at the request of the state. If the elevated lead exposure is limited to just this one residence that has since been remediated, then federal involvement would not seem to be appropriate. Let me know if there is something more to evaluate. Mark

FYI - our Director's office asked for information, so | called DEQ for the scoop.
