Abstract:
Low-income communities are experiencing low water quality due to flooding and environmental contaminants. Researchers have found that increased water tables are being affected by manholes, community septic systems, wastewater treatment plants, and hog farm waste. As result, the combination of flooding and pollutants has created increased levels of lead exposure for those living in the northeastern regions of North Carolina.
