Copper is one of the most abundant elements in our world and because of its useful qualities, it’s also one of the most commonly used today. We can see copper in different applications such as in architectural work, electrical functions, and as a material for jewelry. However, are you aware that copper is also used for water and sewage systems? It has been used as a material for pipes ever since the early 20th century.
Before, pipes used for water systems were made from lead. After some years, it was discovered that this metal was harmful to people’s health. Lead particles corrode, mixing with the water running through the pipes. When the polluted water is drank, these lead particles can collect in the kidneys, brain and liver, causing problems such as nervous system disorders, anemia, brain disorders and lowered red blood cell count. In worst cases, it sometimes causes death. Due to these hazards, lead pipes were replaced with copper pipes.
Copper pipes have numerous advantages, making them appropriate for modern piping and plumbing. For one, this is a non-toxic element. It does not have harmful substances that can pollute water.
Another advantage is that copper pipes are durable and very resistant to dirt and rust. They can last for years because they do not easily corrode.
