Jim,
Could you point me to some references in support of your comment:
"The evidence now shows irrefutably that major scientific problems remain to
be solved before elimination of lead from solder is possible or even
environmentally desirable."
I would like to read some of this irrefutable evidence.
Regards,
Elizabeth

Folks:
Does anyone else find Mr. Jorgensen's proposal bizarre and
unsatisfactory? The evidence now shows irrefutably that major scientific
problems remain to be solved before elimination of lead from solder is
possible or even environmentally desirable. Therefore, the only
responsible stance for a body representing the interests of the
electronics manufacturing sector at this time is "we can't do it now,
there is no way of knowing when (or if) such a change will be feasible,
and the environmental effects of any such change will be bad for society
rather than beneficial. The IPC continues to tacitly acquiesce to an
untenable and scientifically flawed position. This industry body can and
must do better.
