Theres lead in solder pipes too..
the older days of copper (60's and 70's) they used a solder called 50/50 which was 50% lead
they decided in the early 90's to switch it too 95/5 which was still 5% lead
now all they sell and all us plumbers use is lead free solder...it takes a little longer to solder because of the higher temps to melt it.. but it's worth it
my wife made me change all the pipes in my house to aquapex! good stuff.. no soldering and not much fittings...homerun plumbing !!!
anyway.. even after they stopped using lead pipes for plumbing. they still used lead in plumbing!
