Flint Water Study Updates

Last week, the reporters asked several questions about the timing and situation of the decision Scott Smith first contacted Flintwaterstudy. The first thing we heard was a phone conversation between Dr. Edwards and EPA's Miguel Del Toral, which was recorded by e-mail on June 8.

"... In Scott, he must issue a public statement before I speak, but if he makes an appropriate statement, or if he wants to unite to reach an agreement in writing, Release about Flintwaterstudy - I will work with him. "

"Follow your discussion with Miguel Scott is interested in informally discussing how his data will be distorted by Flint's activists who are not careful of his data.The progress of the system Situation Do you want to discuss this with him? If so - how would you like to contact?

Flintwaterstudy then began working with Mr. Smith by phone and e-mail, providing a platform and 'lessons for disaster prevention' to correct incorrect scientific description in Flint between 2016 and 2017 did. In all subsequent radio interviews, we printed articles on MLive and Huffington Post and other media - Mr. Smith was standing in a flawed science article posted on Flintwaterstudy. Mr. Smith reaffirms his regret for the scientific flawed statement of 2016 - 2017 on this morning's phone number (18-28-18), and he still remembered his public withdrawal and apology We supported. We continue to support Mr. Smith's efforts to apologize and correct scientific errors - we have nothing to do with Mr. Smith. The opposite statement made by Mr. Smith or someone who has long been representing him is fake.

At the beginning of 2017, the water quality returned to an acceptable level but instructed the residents to continue using bottled or filtered water until all lead pipes were replaced and expected to be completed by 2020 I am in

Since January 2016, residents of Flint lived in thousands of water provided by the provincial government. On April 6, the official announced that the water droplet would stop and said that the lead content of Flint tap water has reached federal restrictions for nearly two years. The movement was criticized by local people, many of which expressed distrust of water - and those responsible for water. At the same time, the state is having another bottling problem. On April 2, 4 days ago, the Michigan State Environmental Quality Bureau approved a wide-ranging protest plan allowing Snack Company Nestle to draw 250 gallons of water from White Pine Springs.
