In class today I got to test my home tap water for lead. I took a sample of the first hot running water in the morning from my kitchen faucet. AN acceptable level of lead (I think by Chicago City standards) is .015. My test came out super high at .49 and so I will take a few more samples this week including a sample from my faucet after running cold water and a sample from my Britta filter. I'd like to redo the first test because I don't think a sample of one is very reliable but I've been instructed to test the cold water and Britta filtered next.
