and it particularly impacts development in children and it particularly impacts pregnant women because it affects the development of the baby. cairn, i need not say that some of these folks are born with staggering disadvantages. that they had no choice in american society. so having established that, i know a large part of your work is getting to an answer to this. but what do we know so far about what did they know and when did they know it? we know that lead levs in the city began to spike in 2016. this is problem that s almost three years old. the city that the beginning insisted it was a problem with 12 homes because of old lead lines, old infrastructure, and it wasn t widespread. it wasn t until a year later in 2018 after the natural resources defense council sued that the city acknowledged that, yes, this is widespread problem. it s because we have 18,000 lead service lines in the city and these are these old lead pipes,
