cooling wort with car cabin heater radiator

Plumbing solder is lead free. Never use solder intended for electronics for this.

I've seen more than one build here that uses lead soldered copper tubing for either wort chiller or plumbing from one tank to another.

You have? Where? Are you sure you're looking at lead solder and not just standard (lead-free) plumbing solder? I would be very surprised if many people were making this very basic mistake.

Oh, my mistake. I assumed plumbing solder had lead in it. Learning new stuff here everyday! Thanks!

The safe drinking water act of 1974 was supposed to have removed lead from any new products being used. Not saying some Jim tom isn't using whatever they find in a ditch but most people with half a brain ain't trying to poison them self. The dangers of lead hasn't been a hidden secret.
