I’m not middle eastern, but plastic pipes are really common in new builds in north america now too. Garden hoses are largely made out of PVC so the same risks apply
You were talking about PVC. PVC is not the same as HDPE. It’s not the same as PE, PP, etc.
When you say plastic you include a bunch of stuff that you probably don’t mean to. Plastic refers to any material primarily composed of polymers. The coating inside your cast iron pan when you season it using food oil like avocado oil is a plastic.
North American households don’t use pvc. They use HDPE. They’re not even remotely the same. The risks are completely different, just like the difference between styrofoam and rubber.
I’m not talking about plastic household pipes though - I was clarifying that they are more common than copper now on new builds. NA pipes are PEX from what I’ve been able to dig up.
Garden hoses - my main focus in my comments - are still made out of PVC
