The lead found in drinking water can be a source of lead poisoning to young children, particularly those who consume large amounts of water. The authors describe a 13-month-old infant who was discovered to have plumbism during routine evaluation. The lead source was ultimately traced to the daily administration of powdered formula which was prepared with home tap water having a first-draw lead content of 130 parts per billion. This case suggests that whenever infants are fed powdered formula, consideration should be given to analysis of the home tap water for lead content.
饮用水中发现的铅可能是幼儿铅中毒的一个来源，尤其是那些大量饮水的幼儿。作者描述了一名13个月大的婴儿，在常规评估中被发现患有铅中毒。铅源最终被追溯到每日喂食的配方奶粉，该配方奶粉是用家中自来水冲泡的，首次抽取的自来水中铅含量为十亿分之130。该病例表明，每当给婴儿喂食配方奶粉时，都应考虑分析家中自来水的铅含量。
