South Dakota's Drinking Water Contains High Levels of Lithium, Prompting Ongoing Health Studies

Reported 12 months ago

A recent study by the U.S. Geological Survey found that much of South Dakota's drinking water has naturally occurring lithium levels exceeding the federal government's suggested healthy level. With concentrations higher than 30 micrograms per liter — three times the EPA's health reference level — ongoing research aims to understand the potential impacts on human health. While low levels of lithium have been linked to positive health effects, concerns remain about potential negative outcomes, leading to calls for further studies and regulatory considerations.
