Hi Friends,
A problem to motivate future hacker projects:
6.1 million The estimated number of homes in
the United States that still get their water supply from lead
pipes, according to a new report from UNICEF.
The report, which estimates 1 in 3 children worldwide have
elevated levels of lead in the blood, said that lead in water is a
common source of contamination.
Lead can be especially dangerous when exposed to children, who
absorb 4 to 5 times more of the lead that enters their bodies than
adults.
Elevated blood levels can potentially have lifelong
socio-economic implications for children, the report said,
including educational outcomes, violence, future wages, and
children’s social and economic potential in life.
