In our tests, those hoses leached
minuscule amounts of lead into water that had been standing in the
hose for 20 hours or more. We measured concentrations well below 15
parts per billion, the level in drinking water at which the
Environmental Protection Agency requires remedial action. In fact, tap
water contained as much lead as some samples.

This is a good argument for plastic faucets for people, especially those
with young children because a metal faucet is a source of lead in
drinking water.

It's a better argument for teaching your children to run the water a
minute before filling the glass. Not every faucet they encounter in their
lives will be safe.

Both our children have had no problems learning this.
