Hi All,
We all know that electronic solder consumes only 0.49% of the total lead consumption.
Looks like a very low value, but is there a number (in Kg or pounds) which gives the total amount of 'lead' this 0.49% consumes? I guess it will be a big enough number to console that moving to lead-free is reasonable.
I would greatly appreciate if an authentic source is available.
Thank you
Sincerely
Santhakumar
