Michael,
I am not sure, but someone who would most likely know is Ken Snowdon, Nortel
([log in to unmask]). He will be presenting a paper on Nortel's lead free
efforts at IPCWorks.
Best,
Chris

Chris,
Thank you for this information. I do have a question you might be able to
answer. I have read that Japan's Nortel has built a lead-free telephone.
This means that the phone's PC boards have no lead in them. Do you know
what they use in the place of HASL and Sn/Pb etch resists?
Thanks,
Michael Meltzer

>>Dear Leadfree Subscribers:
>>
>>The IPC is hosting an international summit on lead-free electronic
>>assemblies from October 23-28 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. At the summit,
>>the Environmental, Health, and Safety Committee of the IPC will hold a
>>session on Monday, October 25th from 9 AM to noon, entitled: "The Problems
>>and Promise of Lead in Electronics."
>>
>>The session is designed to help illuminate the public policy debate over
>>the continued use of leaded solders in the electronic industry, focusing on
>>the environmental risks posed by leaded solders and the environmental risks
>>posed by possible alternatives. It is designed to help members understand
>>both the fact and fiction behind the debate so that members can voluntarily
>>decide which solders will work best for their own particular applications.
>>
>>As you may know, the European Union is proposing to ban the use of lead in
>>electronic devices by the year 2004 due to concerns that, when disposed of,
>>electronic devices will leach lead into groundwater. However, some industry
>>representatives contend that such concerns are unwarranted or could be
>>addressed through other policy options, such as increased recycling.
>>Futhermore, there is concern that alternatives to leaded solders could pose
>>other environmental problems.
>>
>>This session is designed to illuminate the issue so that participants can
>>better understand the environmental impacts associated with the industry's
>>continued use of leaded solders. The IPC is currently soliciting papers
>>for this session. Currently, the format of the session is very open.
>>Possible topics include:
>>
>>- the environmental risks posed by leaded solders in electronics
>>- the environmental risks/benefits of alternative solders
>>- policy options for reducing the environmental risks posed by leaded
>>solders (International, federal, or state)
>>- cost-benefit studies of leaded solders or their alternatives
>>- Life Cycle Analysis of leaded solders or their alternatives
>>
>>Again, the purpose of this panel will be to help clarify the science behind
>>this issue so that the IPC members become more aware of the environmental
>>risks associated with leaded solders and their alternatives.
>>
>>Please e-mail me directly if you are interested in participating in this
>>session.
>>
>>Sincerely,
>>
