Ernst to EPA: Get the Lead Out
Press Release
Issues: Health and Health Care
“Employees and visitors to government offices serving veterans, senior citizens, and the disabled were also allowed to be exposed to harmful levels of lead, copper, and bacteria for months before warnings were issued about the dangerous toxins that had been detected in the water. The conditions are a direct result of lead, copper, and Legionella accumulating in stagnant water in the buildings after being abandoned by bureaucrats at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Four years later, the dangers persist because bureaucrats refuse to come back to work. Federal agencies around the Washington, D.C.-area are using just 25 percent or less of the space in most government buildings, according to the Government Accountability Office."
