Lead (Pb) particles that detach from the plumbing and contaminate drinking water can pose a&#x0D;significant health threat, which is often underestimated. Laboratory simulation of this problem&#x0D;revealed that standard quantification protocols in the US may miss 80% of the lead present in&#x0D;the water. At the same time, a significant fraction of this undetected particulate lead may be&#x0D;bioavailable when ingested. A critical review of the Washington DC lead-in-water crisis&#x0D;suggested that lead in water might constitute a greater public health risk than generally&#x0D;acknowledged, in at least some circumstances. It also revealed deficiencies in the public&#x0D;health response as well as in alerting the public to elevated levels of lead, and the subject&#x0D;continues to be mired in controversy. Our independent testing at six Washington DC public&#x0D;schools in 2008 showed that problems with elevated lead still persist at 2-41% of taps&#x0D;sampled at each school, even after remedial measures were implemented.&#x0D;
