1 in 3 #Florida third graders have untreated #cavities – how parents can protect their #children’s #teeth
That’s almost double the national average of 17% of children ages 6-9 with untreated #tooth decay and underscores severity of the issue in Florida.
Historically, community #water #fluoridation has been one of the most effective public health strategies to reduce children’s #toothdecay. However, a new Florida law, prohibits adding #fluoride to public #drinkingwater.

MIT News: Window-sized device taps the air for safe drinking water. “The system runs entirely on its own, without a power source, unlike other designs that require batteries, solar panels, or electricity from the grid. The team ran the device for over a week in Death Valley, California — the driest region in North America. Even in very low-humidity conditions, the device squeezed drinking […]

#RFK. Jr. Has Unlikely Allies in His Drive to Limit #Atrazine
In Europe, #weedkiller atrazine has been banned for nearly two decades because of its suspected links to reproductive problems like reduced sperm quality and birth defects.
In the #UnitedStates, it remains one of the most widely used #pesticides, sprayed on #corn, #sugarcane and other #crops, result of years of industry #lobbying. It has been detected in #drinkingwater of 40M Americans.

#Trump #EPA lifts emergency order on #Flint, #Michigan #water

The EPA had been monitoring stricter lead-level standards in Flint's drinking water since 2016.

The order, put in place after the #FlintWaterCrisis, was lifted after federal ofcls said the city has reached compliance with safe #DrinkingWater requirements.

In a statement, EPA Administrator #LeeZeldin called the lifting of the emergency order a major milestone for the city & federal partners.

#Trump #EPA plans to rescind & reconsider limits on 4 different #ForeverChemicals under a landmark #DrinkingWater standard implemented last year by President #Biden, acc/to documents.

The drinking water rules were adopted as part of Biden’s efforts to limit public exposure to #PFAS, #hazardous #chemicals linked to range of serious illnesses. The original rule covered 6 common PFAS contaminants, including #PFOA, a known human #carcinogen, & #PFOS, a likely carcinogen.

Nearly Half of People in the #US Have #Toxic #PFAS in Their #DrinkingWater
Data from #EPA show "Drinking water is a major source of PFAS exposure. The sheer number of contaminated sites shows that these chemicals are likely present in most of the U.S. water supply," said David Andrews, deputy director of investigations and a senior scientist at the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit advocacy organization, in a recent press release.

#Trump is proposing to cut, by $2.4B, a program that offers low-cost financing for #WaterQuality projects, targeting the largest source of federal funds for #DrinkingWater utilities, #sewage treatment plants & other #infrastructure like #water #pipes.

The program had gotten a major boost under #Biden’s #infrastructure #law. But Trump claims the money was “heavily earmarked by the #Congress for projects that are ultimately not repaid into the program, & bypass states’ interest & planning.”

The #law, which was signed by #Republican Gov #SpencerCox on March 27 & will go into effect on May 7, comes amid renewed scrutiny of #fluoride, a mineral that has been widely added to US #DrinkingWater since 1945 to prevent cavities. Controversy over the safety of water fluoridation has intensified in recent years, driven in part by #ConspiracyTheories & by growing resistance to #PublicHealth interventions since the #pandemic.
