This is actually a great example. We continue to reduce the lead in our water and environment, and kids in Flint today have all-time record low levels of lead in their blood.
There is no amount of lead that is safe, and this is not meant to let Flint and Michigan officials off the hook. But it's relevant to point out that kids in Flint today have dramatically, orders of magnitude lower levels of lead in their blood than kids born in the 1980s.
