What metals were they poisoned by?

In Flint it was mostly because of lead poisoning, that was caused by the city pumping chemicals in the pipes that removed the protective layer. Another source was contaminated water from the flint river.

What was allowed to happen at Flint is an absolute disgrace and continual embarrassment for America. An entire community poisoned. The people of Flint are still affected[1], and are still waiting for accountability and justice.
