As we mark WQA’s 50th anniversary, we feature one of our memorable podcasts from the past several years. This week’s episode of the Water Quality Association Podcast features the October 2018 conversation with Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, the pediatrician who helped bring to light the lead crisis in Flint, MI.
Dr. Mona, as she likes to be called, discusses how she was able to detect the elevated lead levels in the blood of children in Flint, leading her to conclude that the public drinking water was the problem. She talks about the book she wrote about her research and where focused her efforts after Flint.
