Survey Link is Closed

Hello everyone, if you are looking for assistance with your tap water, please consider reaching out to your local water utility, local university, or a local environmental organization. Unfortunately, the study period is over and we are no longer conducting the home samplings. We deeply regret to provide this update, because we know there are many homes that still experience a myriad of health and water quality related issues. We believe one way you can help your community is to raise awareness of water issue with the local utilities and researchers or with RCAP sections in your area. These may be good resources to understand your water system, such as where the water comes from, where there may be sources of contamination, how the water gets treated, and how your water compares with accepted levels of contaminants based on national regulations of drinking water.

Please feel free to email Daniel at dan.t.ma @ outlook .com with any additional questions, as he will be graduating from Ohio State and no longer able to access the email address at ma.1081@osu .edu.
