As #Flint struggled with #WaterQuality, it also saw an outbreak of #Legionnaires' disease, leading to the #deaths of at least 12 people & sickening dozens more.
Today, the #EPA states 97% of #lead service lines have been replaced, although last year a federal judge held the city of Flint in #contempt over taking too long to replace some remaining lead pipes.

The #FlintWaterCrisis began in 2014, when the city, while under emergency management from the state, switched water sources from the #Detroit Water & Sewerage Dept to the #Flint River as a cost-cutting measure. State ofcls overseeing the switch failed to ensure #corrosion-control measures were taken for the more acidic river #water. #Lead, a #neurotoxin particularly dangerous to #children, leached from aged service lines into the city's water supply as a result.

#Trump #EPA lifts emergency order on #Flint, #Michigan #water
The EPA had been monitoring stricter lead-level standards in Flint's drinking water since 2016.
The order, put in place after the #FlintWaterCrisis, was lifted after federal ofcls said the city has reached compliance with safe #DrinkingWater requirements.
In a statement, EPA Administrator #LeeZeldin called the lifting of the emergency order a major milestone for the city & federal partners.

From Retraction Watch, this article about a very high profile paper published a few months ago in Science Advances. It is a paper that investigated the possible effect of lead pollution on children's IQ through the analysis of school test results. But the test changed over time, so does the analysis hold up? It seems ... Maybe?
Did Flint water crisis set kids back in school? Paper saying so is ‘severely flawed,’ say critics
