LEAD FACTORS

A number of factors are involved in the extent to which lead enters the water, including:

■ the chemistry of the water (acidity and alkalinity) and the types and amounts of minerals in the water;

■ the amount of lead it comes into contact with;

■ the temperature of the water;

■ the amount of wear in the pipes;

■ how long the water stays in pipes; and

■ the presence of protective scales or coatings inside the plumbing materials. Source: Environmental Protection Agency
