Why is lead a concern?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lead levels that exceed the action limit in drinking water may pose a health threat to both children and adults. Children are at higher risk, as lead is absorbed more easily due to their continued development as they grow. Lead can cause learning or behavioral disabilities, hearing loss, high blood pressure, lower I.Q. in children, kidney damage, premature birth, and other adverse health effects. Which is why it\u2019s so important to understand the quality of your drinking water.<\/p>\n

Westchester Environmental made it a goal to establish a universal game plan that could be translated to any school district or facility that sought to understand the quality of their water. In doing so, we created our lead testing program called \u201cTen Steps to Success\u201d.<\/p>\n
