THE CONTAMINATION BY LEAD
GENERAL FEATURES OF THE LA TORRE PRODUCTS
Brass currently used to produce taps and valves, contains a certain % of lead which contaminates drinking water, as clearly demonstrated by several studies (see diagram below). Lead accumulates in the human body and its toxicity becomes evident also at very low concentration in the blood: 80-100 μg/l. It is particularly dangerous for children whose psycophysical growth can be affected. For these reasons the standards in various Countries have been modified or are under revision,to set the maximum level of lead content in drinking water to the values recommended by WHO (Word Health Organizzation) 10 μg/l. THE PROCESS RUVECO UNITED STATES PATENT N°6.284.053 The RUVECO Process inhibits lead release from brass to water in a simple, effective and economic way. The products treated by this process fulfill entirely the requirements of the new standards concerning the contamination of lead in drinking water. With the RUVECO Process the resulting lead release of treated products is always lower than 10 µg/l respecting suggested standards by WHO (World Health Organizzation) (fig2).

I prodotti delle collezioni La Torre sono frutto di costante e continua ricerca e di sviluppo tecnico ed estetico. É quindi possibile che gli articoli raffigurati nel catalogo non rappresentino sempre la piÚ aggiornata versione del prodotto reale. Tali variazioni avvengono nel corso della normale attività aziendale e sempre a scopo migliorativo. Le ambientazioni delle foto sono puramente scenografiche e creative e non valgono come indicazioni di installazione. The products of the La Torre collections are subject to constant attention and aesthetic and technical ameliorations take place when needed. It may therefore occur that the real items show some differences from the corresponding picture of the catalogue. Shooting sets and position of the items in the pictures of the catalogue are in no way intended as a suggestion or guide fot he installation, but only as a creative image.
