Untapping the Crowd: Consumer Detection and Control of Lead in Drinking Water

We will develop this consumer-centric framework by achieving the following objectives: (1) INVENTORY data on drinking water lead levels and infrastructure to spatially identify risks, (2) PREDICT individual household and community risks using quantitative models, (3) EVALUATE the models through community and citizen science participation in data inventory, data interpretation, and model validation including low-cost in-home water lead testing, (4) INTERVENE by identifying cost effective lead reduction strategies to protect consumers, and (5) SCALE results for dissemination nationally through stakeholders and U.S. states.
