The "W" Factor in defending Lead Poisoning Cases is Water
In Baltimore and throughout much of the East Coast, the main target for the government as well as plaintiffs' attorneys in lead paint poisoning cases is the pre-1978 built residential unit (house or apartment). The pre-1978 built residence is an easy target since more than half of them in the United States are estimated to have contained lead paint when originally constructed.
Frequently overlooked in this effort to find the lead-contributing culprit for the victim's medical problems are the numerous other sources of toxic lead (Pb), such as : the air we breathe, dust, soil, playgrounds, food and beverages, toys and furniture, ceramics and pottery, cosmetics and jewelry, jobs and hobbies, industrial sites, commercial buildings, home remedies, pipes and plumbing fixtures , other products ... and DRINKING WATER !
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that drinking water is the source of about 20% of toxic lead exposure for humans in the United States. Lead leaches out into the water from old (legacy) lead pipes and service lines in city water systems and from home plumbing. Even after lead pipes were banned, leaded solder was legal for use on drinking water lines until the 1980s, and is still for sale in hardware stores. Faucets and plumbing fittings and fixtures may legally contain up to 8% lead. The greatest risk is to infants using formula mixed with contaminated water.
