Dr. Walter Tsou of Physicians for Social Responsibility Philadelphia's Executive Director and former Director of the Philadelphia Health Department joined the
PennEnvironment Research & Policy Center with Councilwoman Helen Gym and Jerry Roseman, Director of Environmental Health for the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers to call for lead-free water in Pennsylvania’s schools after an analysis by PennEnvironment Research & Policy Center gave Pennsylvania a grade of “F” in preventing lead in drinking water in the Commonwealth’s schools. Fortunately, an ordinance was passed in December 2016 to set stricter limits of lead in the schools' drinking water, improve the public’s right-to-know, and require testing of all school faucets and fountains.
