Just remember the authors are suggesting copper pots for water storage in developing countries, where people have more chance of dying from diarrhea than from prolonged exposure to copper.
- kpil 9y agoMy water is delivered in copper tubes... It can't be that bad, can it?
- other_herbert 9y agoIt probably spends most of it's time in cast iron though and only the last hundred or so feet in copper... I'm in the same boat though
- reality_czech 9y agoThere is more information here: http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/factsheet/com/copper.html http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/factsheet/com/co... If you have old copper pipes you're probably fine. An oxide coating builds up on the pipes over time that prevents the release of copper. If you have a water filter you're probably fine (although check the particular filter to see what it removes.) You should have a water filter anyway if you live in any area that used to have industrial sites.
