ATSDR Web News - Childhood Blood Lead Screening Final Report - Anniston, Alabama
Over 350 of the children screened currently reside in the city of Anniston. The remaining children live in communities surrounding Anniston. Fifty-eight households had more than one child screened, including 11 sets of twins and one set of triplets. ... Results of this project do not provide a complete picture of blood lead levels in Anniston. Less than 1% of the children screened by ATSDR had a blood lead level higher than the CDC guidelines of 10.0 micrograms per deciliter However, approximately 25% of the children had a blood lead level 5.0 micrograms per deciliter These findings provide evidence that children are being exposed to lead. Although risks at these low levels are unclear, this evidence points to the need for continued screening and education for exposure prevention. ATSDR will continue to work with state and federal agencies, as well as the community, to implement recommendations for increased screening and awareness in Anniston. ... [Read More]

Approximately 95% of the residents of Calhoun County receive their drinking water from one offive public water supplies, such as the Anniston Water Works ( Haskew, 1996 ). Table 5 providesinformation on the public water supplies in Calhoun County. Since 1981, TCE at concentrations(up to 3.52 ppb) slightly above the CREG of 3 ppb, but below the MCL of 5 ppb, has beenconsistently measured in the only active spring (Coldwater Spring) serving the Anniston WaterWorks. The Safe Drinking Water Act requires public suppliers to test their water regularly forcontaminants, including TCE. Each of the five Calhoun County public water suppliers tests forTCE in their production wells or springs either on a quarterly or annual basis. (Those wells orsprings exceeding the analytical detection limit for TCE are sampled on a quarterly basis.) Inrecent sampling of the public water supplies, no TCE was detected at concentrations above theMCL. Should a contaminant be detected above its MCL, the supplier is ... [Read More]
