I am requesting documents (e-mails, notes, reports, etc) related to blood lead studies on children in Flint Michigan 2014-present.
Robert Scott and Karen Lishinski of DCH would know about these documents, and who else might know about them. In particular, I am interested in:
1) all documents and e-mails related to a “study” done by DCH that was repeatedly cited by MDEQ, as showing there was no problem with Flint’s children, but acknowledging that there was a “spike” in blood lead in 2014 summer
2) communications between MDEQ and DCH and others about this original study and presentations thereof
3) all documents about the study of Mona Hanna-Attisha, including the extensive attempts by the State to discredit her work. Again, MDEQ and others were involved in those discussions.
4) all documents about finally verifying Ms. Hanna-Attisha’s study
5) all documents about Ms. Hanna-Attisha’s study to the present day, including any e-mails to the U.S. CDC or ATSDR about the work.
6) all documents about my work, and my attempt to get the blood lead data from DCH
