Speak Up for Safe Drinking Water for All Millions of people across the country are threatened by unsafe levels of lead in their drinking water. Exposure to lead is particularly toxic to children and developing fetuses, causing serious, irreversible damage to their brains and nervous systems. Lead is also linked to fertility issues, cardiovascular and kidney problems, cognitive dysfunction, and elevated blood pressure in otherwise healthy adults.
