Twitter Chat – What’s in Your Water: The State of Water and Our Health
August 30, 2017 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT
Every year in the US, as many as 900,000 people fall ill and 900 die from waterborne diseases. Waterborne illnesses cause an estimated 40,000 hospitalizations each year at a cost of $970 million annually. Two out of five Americans rate their quality of water as poor. So, what’s going on here? And what can we do about it?
