This disaster came to light in large part because of a study done by Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha of the Hurley Medical Center in Flint.
"Using her hospital's records, Hanna-Attisha found that the number of Flint children with elevated blood-lead levels had doubled and, in some areas, tripled since the city's switch to its new water supply, as the Detroit Free Press reported." Huffington Post
So if fifty children a year have high lead levels, the water is safe. If one hundred or one hundred-fifty children a year have high lead levels, it's a health crisis and national tragedy.
What if it was seventy-five kids?
