- anyfoo 2y agoThis article rather seems to prove what I said? “The authors of the study stated that it could be assumed that other municipalities in Germany – with the exception of Frankfurt am Main and the southern German states – might also be confronted with increased levels of lead in drinking water.” It’s not surprising to me that the former GDR states that the article mentions as hotspots in the following paragraph are in a different position, they have to catch up in a lot of areas. (And that’s not going into what’s considered “exceeded” levels in the EU.)
