"The proposal, led by the Environmental Protection Agency (#EPA), is an attempt to protect Americans from #LeadExposure, which can cause severe health issues... Four states - #Florida, #Illinois, #Ohio and #Pennsylvania - contain nearly 40% of all lead service lines in the US... The proposed rule would really benefit low-income families of color, who are most impacted by lead exposure"
