How far is the lead-free faucet from our lives?

The great harm of lead to the human body is an indisputable fact that has been tested and determined by authoritative state agencies.

In addition, children and pregnant women are the biggest victims of lead poisoning. Due to the physiological characteristics of growth and development, children and pregnant women are extremely sensitive to the toxic effects of lead. Pregnant women with severe lead poisoning will have premature delivery and miscarriage; lead poisoning will affect the growth and intellectual development of infants and young children, and severe cases will cause dementia and other symptoms. One of the sources of lead damage is the lead content in water quality, water pipes, and faucets. In the United States, the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) has put forward strict requirements on these three aspects to control and reduce “lead content”.
