Healthcare Triage: Flint, Water, and the Dangers of Lead

Eyes have been focused on Flint, Mich., where government failures have resulted in elevated lead levels in the city’s drinking water.

This was adapted from a piece I wrote for the Upshot. Links to references and further readings can be found there.
