Featured Presentation: Four Years After Flint – Assuring Access to Safe, Affordable Drinking Water (45) Four years after discovering that the children of Flint, Michigan, were being poisoned by lead in their drinking water, pediatrician Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha is researching what the long-term health effects are on those children. Attendees will hear from Dr. Hanna-Attisha about her research and what the implications might be for state and provincial policies to assist children and their families. In addition, Elin Betanzo of Safe Water Engineering will share information on how states and provinces are acting on the lessons learned from Flint to develop policies and to make critical investments to assure that their citizens have access to clean, safe, affordable drinking water. This session will examine what more needs to be done to reduce the population’s exposure to lead in drinking water — and how GLLC members can help.
