*Updated Link* CDC Press Release: CDC investigation: Blood lead levels higher after switch to Flint River water

Press Release Friday, June 24, 2016 (404) 639-3286 CDC Media Relations   CDC investigation: Blood lead levels higher after switch to Flint River water Stark reminder of dangers of lead exposure for young children   The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today released the results of its investigation into the potential health impact that lead contamination in the Flint, Michigan water supply had on the blood lead levels of local children.  The findings indicate that when the source of the water supply was switched to the Flint River, without appropriate corrosion control measures, young children who drank the water had blood lead levels (BLLs) that were significantly higher than when the source of water was the Detroit water system. After the switch back to the Detroit water system, the percentage of children under 6 years with elevated blood lead levels returned to levels seen before the water switch took place. "This crisis was entirely preventable, and a startling reminder of the critical need to eliminate all sources of lead from our children's environment," said Patrick Breysse, Ph.D., director of CDC's National Center for Environmental Health. "CDC is committed to continued support for the people of Flint through our Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention program and efforts to raise awareness and promote action to address the critical public health issue in communities across the country." To understand the impact of consuming contaminated drinking water on children's blood lead levels, CDC researchers examined data on levels of lead in blood of children younger than six years before, during, and after the switch in Flint's water source. The current CDC blood lead level of concern (also known as a reference level) is 5 or more micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood (≥5 µg/dL). This reference value is based on the population of children ages 1-5 years in the U.S. who are in the top 2.5% of children tested for lead in their blood. From April 25, 2014, to October 15, 2015 (the period when the Flint River was used for drinking water),  the levels of lead in Flint tap water increased over time and analysis of children's blood lead data detected an increase in BLLs ≥5 µg/dL. The likelihood that a child consuming the water would have a blood lead level ≥5 µg/dL was nearly 50 percent higher after the switch to Flint River water. CDC continues to recommend that all children under age 6 living in the City of Flint have their blood tested for lead by a health care provider, particularly if they have not had a blood lead test since October 2015. All children with BLLs ≥5 µg/dL should receive evaluation and follow up, including a home assessment for sources of lead, and health and developmental assessments.

CDC Press Release: Southeastern states not protected by comprehensive smoke-free laws

Press Release   For Immediate Release Thursday, June 23, 2016                                                                       Contact: CDC Media Relations (404) 639-3286                                                                                                                      Southeastern states not protected by comprehensive smoke-free laws Stalled state-level progress since 2010 prolongs regional disparities   Ten years after the Surgeon General's report on the dangers of exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke, no states in the Southeast have a statewide comprehensive smoke-free law, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published in today's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR).  A comprehensive smoke-free law is one prohibiting smoking in all private worksites, restaurants and bars.   Comprehensive smoke-free laws prohibit smoking in all indoor areas of worksites, restaurants, and bars. The number of states (including the District of Columbia) with comprehensive smoke-free laws increased from none in 2000 to 28 by June 9, 2016. Despite this progress, only two states (North Dakota and California) have achieved comprehensive smoke-free status since 2010. With California's removal of exemptions in their smoke-free law on June 9, nearly 60 percent of Americans are now covered by comprehensive smoke-free laws at the state or local level, up from less than three percent in 2000.   In 14 of the 23 states with no comprehensive statewide smoke-free laws, local laws protect some residents. However, nine states lack any local or state comprehensive smoke-free law, including eight that prevent localities from passing smoke-free laws. Local protections vary widely. Local smoke-free laws protect 60 percent of West Virginians and more than 30 percent of Texans, South Carolinians, and Kentuckians. However, local laws protect only 2.4 percent of Georgians and less than 1 percent of people in Arkansas and Wyoming.   Learn More >>   The CDC has reached over 1 million email subscribers.
