Lead is toxic when ingested and causes a wide variety of systemic and developmental problems in adults and children yet this metal can leach from old pipes and fixtures, making its way into drinking water. Many homes and offices built before 1988 may have lead-containing pipes and fixtures still in use. In the US, about 1,000,000 children under the age of six have an amount of lead in their blood that exceeds the level of concern.
