It is well-documented that people of color and children in poor households are at a higher risk of lead exposure.
HUD's mission to advance racial equity by providing every family with a safe, healthy home relies on a broad awareness of lead exposure.

You cannot see, taste, or smell lead in drinking water, but you can learn basic information about sources of lead in drinking water and suggestions for reducing exposure.
It's so important that you contact your local water authority for information about testing and identifying lead in your water. https://bit.ly/3bhEDFy
