News Release 15-Jul-2021
Study reveals that even low levels allowed by the Environmental Protection Agency can impact health.
American Society of Nephrology
Lead levels in drinking water that are permissible by the Environmental Protection Agency have detrimental health effects in individuals with kidney disease, according to a new study. The findings appear in an upcoming issue of JASN.
Despite advances in reducing the amount of lead in drinking water, low levels of contamination remain widespread throughout the United States. This may be especially dangerous for the 30-40 million Americans living with chronic kidney disease, who have heightened susceptibility to the toxic effects of lead.
