I have not seen it on anyone's lists, either the EU's RoHS Directive or any
pending US State legislation. I am not aware of what is going on in Asia - other
than China is talking about a RoHS -like law.
Right now, it does not seem to be on anybody's radar screen.

*Does anyone know if Arsenic is also being targeted for removal from products
*in order to qualify them as Green packages? I'm am interested in both the
*European and the Japanese requirements for Green packaging.
