right, the "University of Exeter" study "RECYCLING OF ELECTRONIC
WASTES IN CHINA & INDIA: WORKPLACE & ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION
REPORT", available online.

The responsible person for the German summary didn't seem to know
much about the environmental problems of LF solder (energy, mining,
reliability, VP soldering). When I finally reached her at phone
(after she didn't answer two e-mails), she promised to send me data
of lead leaching from landfills but I never got a response.

So I'm afraid we can't get any useful contribution by Greenpeace.
