Subj: [LF] electronics recycling in  China


This piece on electronics recycling ran on 60 Minutes Sunday  August 30, 
2009.
It's a repeat program that originally aired in November  2008.

The Electronic  Wasteland
http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4586903n 

This is  the reason lead in solder is being banned.  

Instead of fixing the  problem, a new one (lead free manufacturing) has 
been created.
The result  (reduced reliability of electronics) will be far worse on human 
life (in  toto)
than the pollution seen in this video, IMHO.
