Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Collection of Reports, (Condensed), And Opinions of Chemists in Regard to the Use of Lead Pipe for Service Pipe, in the Distribution of Water for the Supply of Cities
The chemical investigations instituted at different times by the authorities in charge of, or connected with the water supply of various large cities, have generally led these authorities to conclusions calca lated to quiet the public mind upon the question of danger from the use of lead pipes, without entirely satisfying it.
Some of the citizens of Brooklyn have made inquiries about the kind of service pipe which it is best to use, and whether the Long Island water will be injuriously affected by being drawn from lead pipes.
