Lead contamination of public drinking water and academic achievements among children in Massachusetts
We found an association between the annual fluctuation of WLLs and math test scores in Massachusetts school districts, after adjusting for confounding by urbanicity, race, socioeconomic factors, school district, grade, and year. The implications of a detectable effect of WLLs on academic performance even at the modest levels evident in MA are significant and timely. Persistent efforts should be made to further reduce lead in drinking water
Drinking water turbidity and gastrointestinal illness in the elderly of Philadelphia
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between drinking water quality and gastrointestinal illness in the elderly of Philadelphia. DESIGN: Within the general population, children and the elderly are at highest risk for gastrointestinal disease. This study investigates the potential association between daily fluctuations in drinking water turbidity and subsequent hospital admissions for gastrointestinal illness of elderly persons, control…
Temporal variation in drinking water turbidity and diagnosed gastroenteritis in Milwaukee
Daily counts of diagnosed gastroenteritis (gastrointestinal events) in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, from January 1992 through April 1993 were compared with reported daily turbidity from the two drinking water treatment plants serving the county. Turbidity in both plants was associated with an increased number of gastrointestinal events even after exclusion of a major documented outbreak of cryptosporidiosis. During the 434-day period prior to the…
