Using the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions Five-Sample Approach to Identify Schools with Increased Lead in Drinking Water Risks

McNamara Rome et al.

Summary: Despite public concern, the risk of lead exposure in schools is not well understood. The study explored the application of a sampling approach to assess lead levels in Massachusetts public schools and provided a method to classify a school's lead risk. The results indicated that problem fixtures were mainly clustered in a small number of schools, and schools with issue fixtures could be identified effectively using the five-sample results.

A critical opportunity: Detecting and Reducing Lead in Drinking Water at child care facilities

Elizabeth Stanbrough et al.

Summary: There is no safe level of lead exposure, and even at low levels, it can harm children. Drinking water has become a major source of lead exposure as point sources such as lead paint have decreased. A pilot study conducted at child care facilities in the US evaluated approaches to testing and remediating lead in water, showing that fixture replacement was effective in reducing lead levels, while aerator cleaning had mixed results.

The impact of sampling approach and daily water usage on lead levels measured at the tap

Darren A. Lytle et al.

Summary: This study compared various sampling methods for lead levels in water and found that the levels of lead in water vary with daily water usage, with manual composite and random daytime sampling methods being more sensitive to changes. In addition, the lead concentration in directly collected LSL samples was higher than that in sequential sampling methods.
