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
