"A New Study Finds Children's Blood Lead Levels In Flint Are Declining" [1]

"Blood lead levels in Flint children are declining, according to a new study.

A new study in the Journal of Pediatrics finds blood lead levels in Flint children were nearly three times higher in 2006 than in samples taken in 2016.

Researchers from the University of Michigan and the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School analyzed lead concentrations in 15,817 blood samples of Flint children five years old and younger."
