Assignment Help:

What are the advantages and disadvantages of lead products in construction?

Ans) Disadvantages: -Lead is very toxic; its use can result in pollution of the ground and more significantly of water supplies. This leads to the contamination of drinking water and can cause hazards to human health as well as disrupting whole ecosystems.

Advantages: Because of its toxicity, lead is being bought less and less around the world, which of course results in the lowering of its cost. In addition, lead melts at a relatively low temperature, making it great for solder. Though, recently the Chinese have shown an interest in buying mass quantities to manufacture batteries made from a base of lead so the price of this metal may soon rise..
