Lead in Drinking Water Research

See all Research on Lead in Drinking Water.

Lead is a toxic metal that can be found in drinking water due to the corrosion of lead pipes or fixtures that contain lead. Lead exposure can cause serious health problems, especially for young children, pregnant women, and individuals with compromised immune systems. It is important to test water for lead regularly, especially in older homes or buildings that may have lead plumbing. Olympian Water Testing provides professional lead in water testing services and other contaminants, including testing school water for lead. Testing water for lead and copper is essential to ensure the safety and potability of drinking water.
