Project description:
Communication material on lithium in drinking water and health risks
To support public communication around emerging drinking water concerns, RSI was engaged to develop accessible, scientifically grounded materials on lithium exposure and its potential health effects. The work focused on equipping stakeholders with clear, credible information that could inform both internal understanding and broader public messaging.
Deliverables included a structured review and synthesis of current scientific literature, a well-designed summary report tailored for clarity and relevance, and an optional slide presentation suitable for webinar use. Initial consultations helped refine the communication goals, ensuring alignment with both expert and lay audiences. The process emphasized responsiveness to feedback from target users and stakeholders, culminating in finalized materials that reflected scientific integrity and practical communication value.
