Low-mineral water has been implicated in specific cases of lead poisoning in infants, when lead from pipes leached at especially high rates into the water.

Lead used to be used in pipes carrying water, but now it is not because lead can leach into the water.

Preliminary test results show that early intervention in the town has paid off, and little, if any, lead is leaching from pipes into the public water supplies there.

The lead from this solder can easily leach into the water supply.

If tests show that your water has more than 5 parts per billion on the first draw but much less on the second, lead is leaching inside the house.

With time and use the lead leaches out of the glaze into the food.

If it is formulated, applied and fired correctly, lead does not leach into food.

If any lead is leaching from the item, the color of the mixture will turn from light yellow to black, depending on the amount of lead.

Further, glaze in ceramic ware can wear down from repeated washing in a dishwasher and lead can leach.

With time and repeated use, the lead leaches from the glaze into the food.
