65: What's really in our water, where our water comes from, and the truth about lead. | Adrienne Katner

Adrienne Katner is an Associate Professor in Environmental and Occupational Health at LSU-Health School of Public Health. Her research focuses on evaluating how effective federal drinking water regulations and prevailing public health guidelines are in reducing water contaminant exposures. Her efforts to evaluate New Orleans water lead levels, and to raise awareness of the issue of lead in water after pipe replacements garnered national media and government attention. Prior to entering academia, she conducted research at the National Cancer Institute's Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch. She has a broad background in public health, with specific training in exposure and risk assessment; and environmental public health policy.

For the past few years Dr. Katner has been working extensively with various communities to investigate declining private, urban and rural drinking water systems. Dr. Katner has also investigated air pollution issues associated with highways in the New Orleans Treme community with the community group Claiborne Corridor Alliance; and air pollution issues associated with industry along the Industrial Corridor lining the Mississippi River in St. John and St. James Parishes.
