Catalyzing the community: Chemists and Navajo leaders educate on clean water

Many Native American communities in rural areas rely on well water, but the quality and safety of that water can vary significantly. Researchers led by Jani C. Ingram measured levels of heavy metals in well water on tribal lands through a community partnership with the Navajo Nation. After compiling their water-quality data, the researchers and tribal leaders developed best practices for distributing educational resources about safe drinking water to residents of Navajo reservations.
