About this episode
A new study shows that more than two-thirds of kids under 6 in Chicago might be exposed to lead-contaminated water . That could be because the city has nearly 400,000 lead water service lines, the most of any city in the country. Axios’ Monica Eng has been closely following Chicago’s lead pipe removal efforts .
