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 --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 -----------------------------------------------------
