FALLOUT 2 EPA GUIDE FREE

Now, hundreds of residents are heading to distribution sites to wait in long lines for the thousands of free bottled water cases that are being given out by volunteers daily. 6, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) announced it would begin providing free bottled water in Benton Harbor - something local groups have been doing for years - and вЂњencouragedвЂќ residents to stay away from tap water for drinking, brushing teeth and cooking because of the elevated lead levels.

вЂњI canвЂ™t describe how it feels to worry that my son will use the sink to brush his teeth when IвЂ™m not there. вЂњI canвЂ™t tell you how much stress weвЂ™re all under,вЂќ Gavin said. Lead, which was first documented to be in Benton HarborвЂ™s water in 2018, is a toxic chemical that, if exposed to, can cause brain and kidney damage, behavioral problems and even death. She thinks of her hometown, Benton Harbor - a place situated within 4 1/2 square miles in Southwest Michigan where approximately 10,000 people, 85% of whom are Black and nearly half of whom are living in poverty, can no longer drink the water for which they are still paying. She thinks of the ramifications of people, and especially children, being exposed to lead: the hundreds of thousands of deaths nationwide tied to lead exposure each year the extensive brain damage lead can cause, particularly for children whose brains are developing the connection between lead exposure and incarceration. She thinks of the horror stories emanating from children drinking lead infused water in Flint - which, like Benton Harbor, is a predominantly Black city that has been poisoned, not just by lead in its water but by long and deeply embedded histories of institutionalized racism, the fallout of industry, and poverty.
