During the hot days of summer, children play with water from street fire hydrants, even though they are the worst sources of lead-contaminated water. Such games can be seen in New York City and across the country. A recent survey revealed that the tap water in NYC tested twenty times above the healthy limit for lead. Another study discovered that “50% of American children under the age of 6 have detectable levels of lead in their blood.”* * https://www.verywellhealth.com/children-lead-blood-levels-5205133
