Subject: [TN] RoHS list

It starts with declaration obligation, then goes to undesireable and finally 
banned. Silver, Gold, Nickel and Copper belong to the declaration group. So, 
we have to declare that there may be rests of flash gold in our products? 
And Iag must be declared. In practice, how many follow this ? And will Gold 
and Silver be banned one day? The fact that they are on the list must be 
that they are candidates. As far as I know, gold is not harmful to your 
body, nor to the nature. And Palladium and Molybdenum, how can we be without 
them? Well, there are many strange things in this list, e.g.  organic 
oxy-compounds. Will water be forbidden one day? And will we see  labels on 
our pens ' Warning, this pen has 2 mg of Iridium in the tip'.  It's a good 
thing that dangerous stuff is blacklisted, but how far are we going?  Seems 
to me as it won't be long until most paintings are banned, most solvents, 
gasoline, biocides, platings, most petroleum products etc.

Now, I just reacted on Gold, Silver, Nickel, Copper and Aluminum. These are 
not easy to skip in the industry. I'm to old to see that day when they are 
on the red list, but maybe my grandchildren's grandchildren will get that 
experience. I know that there is a lot of experimenting with electrically 
conductive paper molecules, bio computers and other future materials, 
perhaps they will live in a healthier world.

I had never seen this loooong list before. Is it actual, or have I got all 
this wrong?
