WHO | Health aspects of plumbing http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/publications/plumbinghealthasp/en Lead Pipes - Plumbing Forum Anyone know what year lead pipes were phased out? http://www.plumbingforums.com/forum/f2/lead-pipes-144/History of Plumbing Pipe and Plumbing Material - Home Improvement Articles
The Roman's used lead and clay piping for potable water that serviced private homes, amphitheaters, and bathhouses throughout the Roman Empire. In fact lead was still the predominant metal used for water services servicing homes and businesses in the US up until WW II. Lead was very flexible and extremely durable which made it an ideal piping material. In fact lead wiping was considered an art form. The use of lead for potable water declined sharply after WW II because of the dangers of lead poisoning. There is still some controversy with regards to the harmfulness of lead water services being used. Some testing was done several years ago and it was found that the service calcified so quickly very little if any lead leeched through the calcification be that as it may lead services are no longer used and are still being replaced to this day in some of our larger older cities across the US. http://www.hihut.com/history-of-plumbing-pipe-and-plumbing-material.html 30033
