Lead poisoning is no joke and, as you know, has serious effects on the human body. My wife and I have been using Brita filters for years which traps bacteria like E. coli, but not viruses. Consumer-grade water filters are most likely insufficient at stopping minute lead particulates.

If local health authorities and public utilities maintain their vigilance over the next four years, segments of the US population will survive the gutting of the FDA, EPA, and HHS.
