💨 Abstract

The Biden administration has finalized a landmark rule to require water utilities to replace almost all lead pipes in the US within 10 years, prioritizing this action to address environmental issues and racial disparities. The rule, which aims to prevent lead poisoning, especially harmful to infants and children, is a key element of the White House's plan following water contamination crises in cities like Flint, Michigan.
