Chris, You are absolutely right. My point is that the implementation of RoHs is going to reduce .00000000000000001% of the toxins that do reach us. -----Original Message----- From: Hughes, Chris [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 9:43 AM To: TechNet E-Mail Forum; Stadem, Richard Subject: RE: [TN] RoHs compliant toner (ink) MSDS Let's think out of the box for a minute on this one......... 1- We might not eat lunch on a landfill, but... what about the crop farm next door to the landfill which could become our lunch. I'm not saying that landfill sites are notorious for leaks, but it does happen! 2- We might not eat lunch on a landfill, but... we eat the fish that feed on the flies that do each lunch on landfills!

Supposedly the whole RoHs thing is about getting the last .00000001% of toxic waste out of the landfills so it does not get into our bodies. When was the last time you had lunch in a landfill? I am so glad that if I ever do have lunch in a landfill I will not get any of those toxins into my fine brown body. Vive le RoHs! -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of R Sedlak Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 2:30 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] RoHs compliant toner (ink) MSDS Remember the rules on MSDS... You need to put nothing on to an MSDS which is present in amounts less than 1%, UNLESS it is a carcinogen, then the reporting limit falls to 0.1%. I do not believe RoHS is so lenient.
