Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Vancourt
Why children are most at risk: The CDC states that no safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.
How much lead reaches a given Vancourt faucet depends on that building's service line and plumbing, and area data cannot settle it. What the data do show is an average of 90th-percentile lead results above 0.015 mg/L across the city's ZIP codes and a housing stock that is 94% pre-1986. The utility's lead service line inventory and a certified laboratory tap test are direct checks for a household.
1 ZIP code (100% of the city's ZIP records) is served by a water system whose 90th-percentile lead result exceeds the EPA action level of 0.015 mg/L.
