← HistoryWithin Mughal garden water features, which risk increased when lead pipes experience prolonged exposure to slightly acidic groundwater?
A)Increase in hydraulic head loss
B)Formation of organolead compounds✓
C)Accelerated biofilm formation
D)Decreased albedo of the reflecting pool
💡 Explanation
Organolead compound formation is more likely; plumbosolvency occurs because acidic water dissolves lead, introducing it to organic compounds that form soluble, bioavailable toxins. Lead concentration, rather than hydraulic resistance or reflection is affected, when pipe corrosion is substantial.
