Is my landlord trying to kill me with lead in the water???
Heard on the radio many rental homes have dangerous levels of lead in the water AND LANDLORDS REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!
With a bit of research here is how lead in water can harm people, especially kids!
Lead poisoning and health
23 August 2019
Lead is a cumulative toxicant that affects multiple body systems and is particularly harmful to young children.
Lead in the body is distributed to the brain, liver, kidney and bones. It is stored in the teeth and bones, where it accumulates over time.
Human exposure is usually assessed through the measurement of lead in blood.
Lead in bone is released into blood during pregnancy and becomes a source of exposure to the developing fetus.
There is no level of exposure to lead that is known to be without harmful effects.
Lead exposure is preventable.

How can we hold landlords accountable and save our families???
