Cover Story: Limited information is available regarding chemical water quality at the tap in Guatemala City, preventing data-driven decision making. To address this need, households in Guatemala City were recruited as participatory scientists to collect tap water samples at their residence. Samples were analyzed for metals and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The results showed a high prevalence of arsenic above the Guatemalan health limit, representing a potential health risk. Other contaminants such as lead and PFAS may come from onsite plumbing and water storage. The participatory approach engaged members of the studied communities as participants in the scientific process and allowed for rapid data collection to help inform individuals, water utilities, and public health authorities on ways to reduce drinking water exposures. View this paper
