Understanding Mechanisms of Water Lead Contamination by Nitrate Spallation Corrosion and Lead Removal by Point-of-Use (POU) Filters
Lead enters drinking water by a process of corrosion, dissolution or particle detachment from lead bearing plumbing materials. Preventing contamination of water from lead-tin solder corrosion and achieving effective removal of particulate lead by point-of-use (POU) filters are important public …
