The American Academy of Pediatrics Recommends 0 Lead in Our Water

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Report on prevention of Lead Toxicity states "state and local governments should take steps to ensure water fountains in schools do not exceed water lead concentrations of 1ppb." 

Please download the AAP report by clicking here and see screensaver of their recommendation.

PGCPS seems to be allowing lead in our water up to 19 ppm (or 10ppb although I am still unclear what limit they are using because they have told me contradictory numbers). That is not safe. All water sources should be at 0  or at least below 1.  

 The EPA action level is NOT a health standard. Read it here. from the AAP Report.
