Why did Americans use lead pipes for tap water?

Here in Croatia I never heard of anyone even in the really old houses having lead pipes for tap water, lead pipes were only used for draining waste water in to sewers.

Lead was probably half the price so some Jewish fuck probably made the call saving a few shekels and costing future generations billions

White men just love killing themselves and their fellow white, that's why they make up for the majority of mass shooters.

Extra vitamins and minerals

That's insane!

Another dumb gen fucking z. You didn't think before you opened your mouth. You didn't look up your national sewer system either.

Everywhere on the Planet has used leading piping. Until it's been discovered to be cancerous recently. A few decades.

Shove the topic up your ass wgen it is worded like that. It shows you're stupid

literally this
old euro pipes were stone, clay or copper as copper used to be cheap before electronics.
lead is soft and super dense. only some kike rat would use it instead of copper

Lead pipes were never used for plumbing in the United States you retarded and ignorant yuropeon.

Scientific method basically didnt exist until a 100y ago and things were just done since they seemed to work without further investigation into safety.

Everything in modern world that you see is actually a series of "this killed a bunch of people, better fix it in the future" lessons.

romans knew it caused health problems and continued using it because of it's convenience

They used lead as well. Plenty of places in Europe and former Soviet republics had it.

And you make up the mass shitters

That's still better than looking like, smelling like and eating shit.

Only time croatians get to have running water indoors is during rainfall. Fuck off thirdworlder.

We had that too.

Technically untrue

No you fucking retard, its just you that is 3rd world shithole. Normal countries finished replacing lead tubes litterally 80 years ago.

The Romans, what, we are taking about industrialisation. Not aqueducts, piping carrying the larger grid. Industrialisation in the 1800s where people used showers not public baths. The piping in many places was lead. Not ceramics, or often plastic today. So it didn't rupture underground. Metal, lead.

No. The Romans sent slave after slave after slave to the mines to die. Die by the thousands. They had no health and safety. Coal was used as a cooking product by the Germans in a talo?

Yea, a few decades? Asshole. Lead was replaced it should've been replaced to plastics or otherwise. Not 80 years on Plastic. Retard.

Why did Americans use lead pipes for tap water?

they want to go full Roman Empire collapse

In the united states the IRON water pipes had a SMALL amount of lead in them to prevent corrosion up until like 80 years ago.. The lead wasn't a problem as long as the PH of the water was kept at a normal (natural) level. But then instead of actually purifying the water they just started dumping chlorine compounds into it to make it "safe" and the lead started leeching out.
The ONLY places where this has happened is nigger areas that haven't replaced their water pipes in over 70 years, AND are too fucking stupid / cheap to use a water treatment method other than chlorine.
I forget which (90%) nigger city it was where the white consultant told them this, but they were too busy stuffing public money into their nigger pockets to pay any attention, thus making the nigger residents of that city even more retarded (and violent) than they already were.

old euro pipes were stone

wrong they were lead here because lead pipes don't burst easily when water freezes

Wut? No they didn't. The fuckers added lead to their wine for flavor, none of them were aware the lead pipes in the municipal systems were toxic.

Flint Michigan?

Lead is like 1/16th the price of any other metal and extremely easy to work.

They called the resulting poisoning Saturnine gout, lead is the metal of Saturn. They knew well.

Drinking tap water is communism, they dont do it

why did croatia use lead solder for their tin cans 50 years after crimp sealing was invented? Here in America, I never heard of anyone, even in the poorest neighborhoods having lead soldered tin cans. Lead solder is only used in electronics.

you're both using plsatic daily stupid fucking nigger cattle youre both full of microplsatics blow it out your PIG ASSES

Wait...

Can you contaminate water with lead? Like, lead pipes were the standard for 180~ years. You'd think if the metal lead could turn water poisonous by touching it, that people would have figures that out a lot sooner than 1986.

Perhaps it is fine to drink water that touched lead... after all, all the water in your body was once piss and shit, for a billion years before you were born.

Your government didn't start building sewers until 2014.

says the filthy jeet who most likely drinks out of a lead fucking pipe, lmfao...how's it feel??? how's it feel to be SO FUCKING POOR BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

While the use of lead pipes for domestic water supply is generally discouraged and even banned in many places around India, they are still present in some older homes and systems, and the use of lead-based stabilizers in PVC pipes persists in the unorganized sector of Indian manufacturers.

it has been reported that nearly half of the children have elevated blood lead levels (BLLs).

and even if it's not an actual lead pipe, ALL INDIAN PVC CONTAINS LEAD, BAHAHAHAHAH...bet your water tastes sweet huh? lol, lmao even

They did, see my posts. We have known for 2000 years what lead does to you. Lead is the original capitalist productivist sin that brings about the Age of Saturn, the Golden Age. It's just too fucking cheap and easy to use and the poison it is to the body is slow-acting enough to ignore until your civilization collapses.

Because you didn't have plumbing when lead was used

lol the house i live in was so fucking old it had ceramic pipes with lead glazes when I bought it...was condemned too, old 13 room plantation style hotel on the bay in Texas

The average Indian IQ is lower than it is for African-Americans. You people are actually dumber than niggers! Pretty funny, right?

you're right that we don't drink tap, but not because gommunism. I have a distillation unit that produces 7gal/day
