Lead pipes can be eroded by water and if there is lead in the water there is a possibility of lead poisoning
Any metal including non ferrous metal piping can be "eroded" if the velocity is excessive and the condition of the water supply is corrosive
Lead pipe has been in service for over 1,000 years and yet people survived
Lead is still great for many types of acid waste and water mains made of lead after a few years have a protective oxidation that limits the leaching of lead into the water.
There are many other pollutants in the air, water and work and home environment that cause major health problems BUT many Wacko's on the left coast try to regulate everything.
A normal person if they are concerned about piping such as copper leaching into the water supply can just add a point of use heavy metal filter NOT try to ban copper /lead and God knows what else
Years ago people drank wine from lead goblets and that caused the lead poisoning.
Many plastics are a lot more toxic then lead and they do leach into the water supply causing all types of cancers..
I wonder how many people were exposed to lead when cars were being painted or bridges sand blasted?
Lead is an amazing material when used properly for its corrosion resistant ability
