Newark. The New Jersey you love, now with more lead!

Featured Replies

Three times the Federal limit, it seems.

Newark’s ongoing lead water crisis is prompting more questions than answers as the city continues distributing bottled water to nearly 14,00 homes.

Now residents can call a 24-hour hotline with questions on the health effects of lead exposure or where to pick up water in Newark, Gov. Phil Murphy announced Thursday.

A crew of doctors, nurses and pharmacists will be available to answer calls at 1-866-448-2432. Assistance will be available in 150 languages.

“Young children and pregnant women are most at risk for lead exposure. Even low levels of lead in blood can affect a child’s ability to pay attention, achieve milestones at school and may even cause behavioral problems,” New Jersey Department of Health Acting Commissioner Judith Persichilli said in a statement.

“Most children with lead exposure don’t exhibit symptoms. That’s why it’s so important that children under six, nursing mothers and pregnant women (are) tested for lead exposure,” Persichilli added.

Newark began distributing bottled water after new sampling showed filters at two of three tested homes were not removing lead from the drinking water at expected levels. State and city officials have since scrambled to test additional homes to figure out why the nationally certified filters didn’t work. More than 39,000 have been distributed in the city.

No one loves NJ

A rationale explanation as to why Jerseyman is the way he is. 

It appears that, like Flint, this is a lead pipe problem.  Not a cinch.  And not refinery related.  In that case, you'd think Bayonne would all be dead and retarded.

I promise all of you, Italian people are behind this somehow.  

Saying Newark somehow represents NJ is like saying El Paso and Corpus are representative of Texas

How many is 14,00?

Maybe they're Spanish?  As in 14 pesetas, zero cents.  14,00

Don't eat the gabagool-- it's full of nitrates, fat, and lead.
