“…Brass alloys can contain up to 0.2% cadmium and typically 30% zinc, resulting in a Cd/Zn ratio of 0.0067. 49 The importance of premise plumbing material was further highlighted through our mixed-effects models, which revealed dissolved cadmium levels were significantly explained by the percentage of galvanized piping in a home's premise plumbing. Overall, this model indicates that a 1% increase in percentage of galvanized premise plumbing corresponds to a 0.02 log increase in cadmium levels (Table 1).…”
