- Effect of pH, DIC,
Orthophosphate and Sulfate on Drinking Water Cuprosolvency [EPA600/R-95/085,
June 1995] Field data from various copper monitoring studies and
Lead and Copper Rule compliance data are often inappropriate and misleading
for reliably determining fundamental chemical relationships behind copper
corrosion control. To address this deficiency, a comprehensive solubility
model for copper in drinking water has been developed, that is qualitatively
and quantitatively consistent with available data for copper dissolution
and precipitation.

Availability on the minor revisions to the Lead and Copper Rule that
were proposed in 1996
- The law prohibits any person from introducing into commerce any pipe,
or plumbing fitting or fixture that is not lead free after August 6,
1998, except for a pipe that is used in manufacturing or industrial
processing. For details, read Section
1417 of the Safe Drinking Water Act and the NSF Standard: Commonly Asked
Questions.
