Your support will allow CHEEC to continue and expand our efforts, including:
- Run programs like Get the Lead Out, which allows Iowans to test their home's drinking water for lead via a mail-in test kit
- Provide additional free and reduced cost drinking water quality tests to Iowans
- Collect, organize, and use pertinent laboratory data on the presence and concentration of environmental contaminants
- Make environmental contaminant data accessible and explorable for the public through sites like Iowa Trust Your Tap and the Iowa Well Forecasting System
- Develop advanced laboratory methods to detect contaminants and help differentiate their sources
- Conduct studies to relate the occurrence of a disease to contaminant exposure and to ensure that other factors known to cause the disease in question can be ruled out
- Implement public education programs on environmental health issues
