  • Tainted Water: Nitrate Pollutes State’s Drinking Water

    Dick Swanson of Algoma carries dolls painted blue to highlight “blue baby syndrome,” a condition caused when infants drink water polluted by nitrate. Swanson, a member of the advocacy group Kewaunee Cares, attended a “stink-in” with about 50 others on the steps of the Wisconsin State Capitol on Nov. 7 to protest pollution from concentrated animal feeding operations. Activists blame large-scale farming operations for contaminating drinking water in Kewaunee County and elsewhere. Photo by Abigail Becker of the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism.
