Abstract:
Various corrosion processes in copper tubes may lead to elevated copper concentrations in drinking water, if the water is stagnant. Incorrect application of copper tubes in households may lead to elevated copper concentrations in tap water. Owners of private wells should carefully check the properties of the water to be used for human consumption.
