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 …

Orthophosphate is commonly used to control lead release to drinking water, but it is a
potential source of nutrient pollution and can increase the concentration of particulate and …

Monitoring lead in drinking water is important for public health, but seasonality in lead
concentrations can bias monitoring programs if it is not understood and accounted for. Here …

Orthophosphate can limit lead contamination of tap water, but its benefits are difficult to
quantify, since lead concentrations are so site-specific. Sentinel homes serviced by lead …

Orthophosphate–polyphosphate blends are commonly used to control lead release into
drinking water, but little is known about how they interact with lead corrosion scale …

The interactions between dissolved silica and corrosion scale on lead pipes such as
hydrocerussite (Pb3 (CO3) 2 (OH) 2) and aluminum containing amorphous phases can …

Orthophosphate is widely used to control lead (Pb) release in drinking water distribution
systems, but phosphorus addition is not sustainable. Alternative corrosion control treatments …

Orthophosphate is used to minimize lead contamination of tap water, but its benefits are
difficult to quantify since lead concentrations are plumbing-dependent. Homes serviced by …

Orthophosphate is used widely to control lead release from plumbing into tap water. Its effect
can be difficult to quantify, though, since tap water lead concentrations are site-specific …

Phosphate addition is a popular strategy to minimize lead release. Despite continuous
research on orthophosphate for lead control, studies exploring the complexity of the …
