Abstract
This project evaluated if a carbon-based filter is capable of capturing the mass of lead and copper from the faucet flow of drinking water, thereby enabling water utilities to determine consumer exposure to lead and copper in the water system. The project report explores the practicalities of incorporating this sampling technique into the revised Lead and Copper Rule. Published in 2013.
