Two ways to die!
Lead bullets or shrapnel and ingested or inhaled Lead toxicity. Also, chronic physical contact to a lead containing product (paints and pipes).
Two of the common low-level chronic poisonings are real major Public Health matters of major concern, namely lead and arsenic, which are both accumulative as a poison.
The two major bulwarks to prevent or limit exposure has been selective Public Health neglect and political neglect. The label for these public official .and political culprits is defined as malfeasance, with possible criminal changes. In every state in the USA, the Public Health officials regularly submit a water toxicity report, e. g., specifically for lead and arsenic levels for all licensed water departments. So, why no alarm? Citizen evaluation, public warnings or reports, neither responsive reaction nor correction have been forthcoming against the establishment.
The answer is simple: job security and adverse citizen protest.
However, if the public water supply is visually unfit, or unsavory, or odiferous, or episodes of health matters leading to an investigation, there will be a public outcry.
So what is new?
Flint isn’t new. The attention to Flint is new and revealing and Public Health and pertinent officials, and appointed or elected officials are absolutely at fault. There also may be corruption involved.
There is absolute need for National Public Health officials, and the Surgeon Generals Office to survey all 50 states and the USA territorial states to summit their last five annual required reports to a Central National Agency highlighting levels of Arsenic, Mercury , Lead and other toxic chemicals.
These toxicity and unhealthy water problems are wider than it appears to be. “Flint” is a wakeup call.
This problem will impact more Americans directly than any ISIS attack event or series of events. Go figure! Hundreds of thousands of victims nationwide, versus maybe hundreds in USA by ISIS.
See for review, recent public newspaper articles in a metroplex area with a hundred years of experience in this instant issue matter of toxic public water supply.
One immediate Public Health effort is to test all users of Flint water for lead levels and arsenic. All positives to be immediately placed on Medicaid, instantly, to provide medical care for all victims.
Next, provide reasonable grants to all Michigan Medical Schools for fast-track medical research for care of lead poisoning victims.
T. O.! (Tell others!)
