Lead (Pb) in drinking water has re-emerged as a modern public health threat which can vary
widely in space and in time (ie, between homes, within homes and even at the same tap …

Abstract Lead colloids—particles between 0.001 and 1 µm—present unique challenges for
maintaining drinking water quality. Most of the published literature on lead in drinking water …

One of the primary goals of WHO and its member states is that “all people, whatever their

Water utilities commonly dose phosphates to potable water to (1) reduce aesthetic problems
by sequestration,(2) inhibit calcium carbonate scale formation via threshold inhibition, and …

For lead pipes that contain PbO2 (s) as a major component of their scales, a change in the
