Well that puts it into perspective. Looks like lead exposure was a small blip on an other downward trend.

Kids in Flint during this crisis had less lead in their blood than kids a decade earlier when there was no crisis?

Why am I not surprised the folks who will make out the most from this are the lawyers?
