“…194,205,206 The highest lead concentrations occur in standing water first drawn from the tap and then decline after flushing. 207 The concentration of lead in the first flush is approximately 80% greater than the concentration for running-water lead.208 It is also influenced by how far and how quickly the tap is turned and by the temperature of the water and thus the season of the year.104, 203,209,210 The use of lead stearate as a stabilizer in polyvinyl plastic pipes results in some leaching of lead into the water2,211,212 but this problem is minor when compared with leaching from leaded p i p e~.~l 3 Uptake of lead by vegetables from drinking water during cooking has been identified as an additional potential source of human exposure to lead.

Variability in the concentration of lead and copper sampled at consumers' taps poses challenges to assessing consumer health threats and the effectiveness of corrosion control. To examine the minimum variability that is practically achievable, standardized rigs with three lead and copper containing plumbing materials (leaded brass, copper tube with lead solder, and a lead copper connection) were deployed at five utilities and sampled with regimented protocols. Variability represented by relative standard deviation (RSD) in lead release was high in all cases. The brass had the lowest variability in lead release (RSD = 31 %) followed by copper-solder (RSD = 49%) and lead-copper (RSD = 80%). This high inherent variability is due to semi-random detachment of particulate lead to water, and represents a modern reality of water lead problems that should be explicitly acknowledged and considered in all aspects of exposure, public education, and monitoring.
