Lead contamination?
What would be the steps a pregnant woman or a family with young children should take to reduce the chances of lead leaching into the drinking water, since lead contamination of water is a significant problem in many older buildings?

use a carbon filter to make sure that the water your drinking is clean. Use like a Brita or something. the charcoal in those neutralizes the lead compound and will keep it in the filter instead of the water.

Get a plumber and ask that they renew the water pipes from lead to copper or the new plastic type.
