"The whole problem is basically with the electronic waste. A lot of electronic equipments are ending their lives in open junkyards and waste dumps all around the world – many of them with no chemicals control. The water from acid rain dissolves lead and other hazardous materials from the electronic equipments, and the rainwater mixed with these materials go straight to the water table and then to the drinking water."

This statement has never been proven. Please state the facts as it applies to RoHS.

This is a politacally motivated directive not based on science.

A recycling program would take care of landfill issues but changing the material we solder with will increase the energy consumption for the production of electronic products.
