Source: New Zealand Government Major water reform has taken a step closer with the appointment of the inaugural board of the Taumata Arowai water services regulator, Hon Nanaia Mahuta says. Former Director General of Health and respected public health specialist Dame Karen Poutasi will chair the inaugural board of Crown agency Taumata Arowai. “Dame Karen brings considerable experience in governance and management as Director General of Health and Chief Executive of NZQA, as well as her crucial experience as a member of the Havelock North Drinking Water Inquiry panel,” Nanaia Mahuta said. “This tragic water contamination incident was a major driver for legislation, including the establishment of an independent regulator, to assure safer drinking water and more efficient wastewater and stormwater networks for New Zealanders.”

Report finds levels of lead in blood of children in Port Pirie South Australia

A new report has found levels of lead in the blood of children living around the South Australian town of Port Pirie have reached a ten-year-high. South Australian health authorities announced the findings with the release of the latest report in a series tracking blood-lead concentrations among children between two and five-years-old since 2011. Among those children tested last year, 276 recorded a blood-lead result higher than 5 micrograms per decilitre. The number of children with results equal to or exceeding 20 micrograms per decilitre grew from 13 children in 2019 to 16 children in 2020. Among two-year-olds, the average blood-lead level was 7.3 micrograms per decilitre – a “robust indicator” considered to show the level of contamination among the wider community.
