This is from lead testing done in 2008.
Why weren't parents informed of this very high amount of lead in the water at that time?
The way to understand these tests is to look at the column that says ppb. That is the amount of lead in the water at parts per billion. American Academy of Pediatrics states that there is no safe level of lead and therefore the lead levels should always be no more than 1 ppb.
These 2008 tests show extremely high levels in water fountains this school. Especially in classroom 117.
Children may be suffering some of the effects of lead poisoning if they drank a lot of this water and yet their families are completely unaware.
Later in 2009 testing was again done. We assume that something must have been done to get these two water samples lowered but where is the testing on the rest of the school water?
