11 months agoEngland and Wales are no more EU though, they don’t have to follow EU regulations.
But yeah many EU countries still have some areas with lead pipes, even Germany, France and so on. It seems to be hard to track

In short:
since 2013 EU has 10 ug/L limit. since 2020 a goal was set for 5 ug/L to be achieved until 2036.EPA current limit is 15 ug/L. Yes, they have set a 0 goal, but with apparently no timeline, so until than there will still be many areas with 15 ug/L. Bidens proposal would probably set this 0 goal into a 10 year timeframe, making it much better than the EU goal.
That data is still from 2009 though, but sadly there doesn’t seem to be a newer statistic. Since that time many changes were made to push for the removal of old lead piping in the EU.
Anyway the threshold for lead in drinking water in the EU is 10ug/L since 2013.
Since 2020 a regulation has been in effect with the goal to have less than 5 ug/L drinking water at the consumer until 2036 everywhere in the EU.
https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC125733The US has a threshold of 15 ug/L.
so thats where all the bees are
I mean the shortened down article does not give that info. The ars technica article does give a detailed description though. The CDC Report only give little info on what vampire facials are. Since the shortened article description from OP does already link to the CDC report, the only point to still read the ars technica article is to find out how exactly vampire facials are done
