Ahne,
Actually I think it means that future generations will be mining lead along with aluminum, copper and other metals from our landfills. To quote;

"...........Other studies conducted on landfill waste, including a 1993 Toxicological Profile of Lead conducted by the US Department of Health and Human Services, have concluded that the health concerns from landfilled lead are minimal."

I happen to live in an area where mining is a major form of commerce. I really can't get to excited about people burying metal instead of digging it up. As far as I can see a landfill is as good a place as any to store metal until it becomes economically feasible to recycle it. Then we get to dig it up again!!

What worries me going into land fills;
- old electrolytic caps and transformers
- any kind of battery ( except lead acid types)
- any kind of paint, pesticide, or herbicide
- any kind of petroleum product

Just my POV
Dan
