Abstract Purpose of Review Lead can enter drinking water from lead service lines and lead-
containing plumbing, particularly in the presence of corrosive water. We review the current …

In this 48-month pilot study, long-term impacts of copper: lead galvanic connections on lead
release to water were assessed without confounding differences in pipe exposure prehistory …

Galvanic corrosion is one of the main reasons for pipe degradation and lead contamination
in drinking water systems. The electrical connection of dissimilar metals in corrosive tap …

Lead and manganese are regulated in drinking water due to their neurotoxicity. These
elements have been reported to co-occur in drinking water systems, in accordance with the …

Traditional lead (Pb) profiling, or collecting sequential liters of water that flow from a
consumer tap after a stagnation event, has recently received widespread use in …

Abstract Hydrocerussite (Pb 3 (CO 3) 2 (OH) 2) is widely observed as a corrosion product in
drinking water distribution systems. Its equilibrium solubility and dissolution rate can control …

Galvanic corrosion as a mechanism of toxic lead release into drinking water has been under
scientific debate in the US for over 30 years. Visual and mineralogical analysis of 28 lead …

The occurrence of aluminum in scales on lead pipes is common. This study aimed to identify
factors that influence Al accumulation on oxidized lead surfaces and to determine whether …

Partial replacement of lead service lines (LSLs) often results in the excessive long-term
release of lead particulates due to the disturbance of pipe scale and galvanic corrosion. In …

Lead is a potent neurotoxin and drinking water represents an important route of exposure,
especially where legacy lead pipe is widespread. Polyphosphates are often added to …
