Listen "Poison Pipes"
Episode Synopsis
Clean water can get contaminated on its way to your faucet. In America, more than 9 million lead service lines connect city water to individual homes (and apartments), leaving millions of people vulnerable to potentially harmful doses of lead. Retired EPA scientist — and Flint whistleblower — Miguel Del Toral shows us lead pipes unearthed from his property in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood and explains why they're no longer considered safe. And we talk to a Milwaukee father, who stumbled upon this lesson with his young son. → Read APM Reports’ investigation → Read Del Toral’s memorandum on FlintGuests:Miguel Del Toral, EPA scientist (retired)Rick Rabin, Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and HealthTory Lowe, Milwaukee activist (and father of four)Karen Baehler, scholar-in-residence at American University School of Public AffairsPhoto: Lauren Rosenthal | APM Reports
