- fallingfrog 4y agoAlmost certainly. In fact our problem may be significantly worse. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/oa.3001 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/oa.3001 In particular look at this graphic: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/cms/asset/ca143408-881b-4b17-b046-d6425849adfa/oa3001-fig-0001-m.jpg https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/cms/asset/ca143408-881b-4b17...
- UI_at_80x24 4y agoWe haven't even learned the lesson of lead in our pipes yet. Sure we shouldn't use it, but my house still has lead pipes running from the street upto the house. SlumLord refuses to do anything about it, and threatens to sell if we "make a big deal about it". Flint MI, is still suffering with lead pipes too. Yes, I hope we are ridiculed for our use of lead in gasoline & pipes. But the real outrage is how these criminal CONTINUE to get away with it.
- BitwiseFool 4y agoWouldn't threatening to sell involve having to disclose he's got lead pipes and lead to a need for remediation?
- UI_at_80x24 4y agoUnfortunately not in my jurisdiction. The "lead pipes" disclosure is for `inside the house` plumbing. He's a slumlord, even if it was a requirement he wouldn't do it.
- Melatonic 4y agoSupposedly many lead pipes actually when even somewhat older will be coated on the inside with crap that prevents most lead exposure. New pipes for sure sound like a problem
