Lead (Pb) is a heavy metal that is found naturally in the environment through various processes such as weathering of lead-containing minerals and the release of Pb from volcanoes. However, its major spread in the environment is through human activities mainly associated with fossil fuel burning, industrial processes, and the use of lead-based products. Some other activities that can contribute to Pb pollution include mining, smelting, and the use of Pb-based paints, pesticides, and other products. Pb can enter and contaminate drinking water in many ways mainly including contact with pipes, fittings, or other plumbing materials that contain Pb.
