Hi IPC LF Listservers,

Did anyone here take part in this event sponsored by the IPC.

It did look interesting considering certain sides of our argument.

I would be interested in any OnList or OffList feedback as to what you
learned about Lead or other stuff, and of course lead from electronics and
how it gets back to the earth (from whence it came) or to humans in a more
than normal harmful manner.

Yours in Engineering, Dave

>With the looming implementation of the WEEE and RoHS legislation in
Europe, electronic assemblies are being put under a microscope (literally)
to determine what materials being used. One of the key materials of
interest is lead. What happens when materials are put in a landfill? This
presentation looks at this topic in a general sense and then concentrates
on inorganic materials and then zeros in on lead. The presented material is
not highly technical, but provides a thorough look at the evolution of a
landfill, its chemistry and how this relates to the chemistry of lead that
find its way into this type of repository. Additional topics include
treating leachate, remediation of sites, landfill liners and associated
U.S. federal legislation.
>
>Who Will Benefit
>This presentation will be of interest to members of the electronics
industry responsible for disposal of electronics assemblies and with
disposal of individual components and solder dross. The material is
suitable for a general audience of engineers, scientists, environmental
affairs specialists, purchasing agents and line workers.
