“Not knowing whether there’s lead in your drinking water or not does not mean that it’s not actually there.” Jennifer Hoponick Redmon spoke to @wabenews about progress made by Clean Water for Georgia Kids and the importance of testing for and removing lead from drinking and cooking water: wabe.org/feds-fund-scho…

The North Carolina Science Festival returns this April for its 16th year with a clear message: Science Matters. Presented by RTI International, NCSciFest connects communities across 100 North Carolina counties with hands-on STEM learning. With more than 4 million participants expected cumulatively, this year’s festival continues to show how science plays a role in everyday life. #NCSciFest #ScienceMatters #RTIImpact rti.org/news/north-car…

Nearly 1 in 3 children globally are affected by lead exposure. Even low levels cause irreversible harm. The source isn’t the water itself — it’s the pipes, fittings, and materials that leach lead into systems. What needs to happen: • Stop installing lead-containing components • Strengthen standards and enforcement • Replace high-risk infrastructure Eliminating lead from drinking water is achievable with coordinated global action. journals.plos.org/water/article/…

Meet Michele Eddy, sustainability leader at RTI and facilitator of our #GreenBiz26 water stewardship roundtable. Michele is focused on helping organizations build effective cross-sector water partnerships and measure environmental, social, and business value so collaboration leads to credible impact and return on investment. Join Michele for the roundtable How Do Water Stewardship Collaborations Create Measurable Shared Value? on Feb 18 and continue the conversation at booth 401. ow.ly/JvSX50YgNvs

👀How to stop the flow of lead in new and existing drinking water systems 💦 doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Over the past several years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has sent hundreds of millions of dollars to states so schools can test their water for lead. In Georgia, many schools have been slow to opt into testing, but a change in rules could make it easier for more schools to take advantage of the funding starting this year. wabe.org/feds-fund-scho…

We got hoppy talking about that P word that goes on forever… #PFAS 👀. A bubbly 🍻thanks to Master Brewers #podcast and John Bryce for asking about the small particles 🧪that have made a big splash 💦 in the #beer #brewing industry. masterbrewerspodcast.com/347 - with @RTI_Intl

Clean water shapes more of our lives than we think — it’s in your coffee, your dinner, and even your beer. New study found PFAS in nearly every sample, highlighting how protecting our water means protecting the everyday things we enjoy. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m…
