Throughout history, there have been many great civilizations across the world such as the great roman empire. The roman empire faced many great challenges and achievements. However, lead, a harmful contaminant found in a variety of places such as drinking water, was commonly used in early plumbing, fishing nets, and irrigation. Scientists strongly believe this to be one of the many things that led to the decline of the roman empire.
Today, lead still remains very relevant and poses many health risks to communities across the United States and the world. The shocking discovery found in Flint’s drinking water supplies prompted many communities across the U.S. to test their communities’ drinking water which uncovered even more lead contamination. Approximately, 3,000 areas have discovered their lead contamination woes through rigorous testing conducted.
Lead poisoning is known for causing numerous health issues but the most severely affected population of this contamination issue are children, who can be exposed to a variety of health risks that can cause life-long issues. If communities are dangerously affected by lead contamination within their drinking water supplies, city officials typically send out public notices to residents. Experts say the best way to avoid any harmful contaminants within your drinking water supply, is to utilize a water filter.
