暴露在环境中的高水平铅会对健康造成不良影响，尤其是对幼儿。由于人们对降低铅暴露的兴趣，一些与铅有关的法案被提交给了第102届国会。虽然大多数法案在某种程度上包括饮用水，但只有H.R.2840及其配套的S.1445包含对饮用水供应商产生重大影响的条款。这两项法案的历史、现状和饮用水条款是本次审查的重点。包括参考，表格。

Exposure to high levels of lead in the environment causes adverse health effects, particularly in young children. Interest in seeing exposure to lead lowered has resulted in a number of lead-related bills being introduced into the 102nd Congress. Although most of the bills include drinking water in some way, only H.R. 2840 and its companion S. 1445 contain provisions that substantially affect drinking water suppliers. The history, status, and drinking water provisions of these two bills are the focus of this review. Includes reference, tables.
