Arsenic In Your Drinking Water

 

What It Does, What You Should Know And What You Can Do About It

 

In New Hampshire, 1 in 5 private water wells have high levels of arsenic that exceed State and Federal health limits.  Most of this is due to the state’s bedrock geology which contains certain formations containing high levels of naturally occurring arsenic.  NH at one time had 300 arsenic mines to produce arsenic for a variety of commercial products and was known as the “arsenic state.” 

 

If you live in Epsom, the likelihood that there are elevated levels of arsenic in your artesian well water is closer to 1 in 4. Arsenic in drinking water, even at very low levels, is a dangerous substance associated with higher risks of cancer, infertility and other medical conditions. It may not immediately make you feel sick but can have serious health consequences over time.  Arsenic is odorless and tasteless, and it can be detected only in a laboratory. It can be removed from your well water using under the sink and “whole house” treatment technology.

 

Experts from the NH Department of Environmental Services, Drinking Water & Groundwater Bureau, and from the Center for Environmental Health Sciences at Dartmouth Medical School, will share with you the latest information on this important health hazard and what you can do about it.   

 

Come learn what you can do to protect your family.

 

Epsom Library, Monday, Nov. 4, 7PM

Epsom Central School Staff And Faculty

Epsom photo_Valley_Linda copy.jpg

 Mrs. Linda Valley, 2nd grade teacher

 

To visit Linda’s classroom is to meet a woman with a great sense of humor, an infectious laugh, a passion about teaching, and affection for her teammates. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with a Certificate in Special Ed and a minor in Spanish, as well as an Associate’s Degree in General Studies, all at Keene State College. Linda has been at ECS for 22 years and has taught 1st and 6th grades, Special Ed in grades K-3, and a total of 13 years including the last 11 in 2nd grade. She also served as a case manager in Grades 1-5 for a year. In the past, she has worked on the Student Council, Yearbook Committee, Ski Club, and Environmental Club.

 

Linda loves the excitement kids have about being in school and believes that, if the faculty and staff make school a fun place, the kids will love learning even more. With regard to her team of two other 2nd grade teachers, Linda says, “It’s not what you do but with whom you work that counts. My team works well together, each of us having her own strengths and believing that learning is a life-long process.” Linda appreciates when parents work with their children at home, listen to them read, and help them practice their math facts. “It will make them excited to learn. If their homework does seem like a chore, parents should talk to me. That’s not what homework is all about,” she says.

 

Linda lives in Pembroke with David, her husband of 21 years, and a daughter; an older stepson lives on his own. A self-proclaimed “military brat,” she loves to be outdoors and camping or fishing with her family.
