What is this product?

Lead in school drinking water: a widespread problem because many schools were built before 1986 (lead solder ban) and have aging plumbing that leaches lead. EPA: no safe level of lead in children. EPA 3Ts Program (Training, Testing, Taking Action): voluntary guidance for school water testing — 15 ppb action level (matching SDWA). LCRR (Lead and Copper Rule Revisions, 2024): requires testing in schools and childcare facilities served by community water systems, but does NOT set a school-specific action level. Many states have enacted mandatory school water testing: NY, CA, IL, OR, MD — with action levels ranging from 1 ppb (proposed) to 20 ppb. Remediation: replace fixtures, flush lines, install POU filters.
