Abstract

To investigate the possibility that asbestos‐cement pipe does, as has been suggested, release asbestos as a contaminant in drinking water, a study was made of water samples from fifteen public water‐supply systems before and after their flow through asbestos‐cement pipes of various ages, lengths, and diameters.
