RE: [Doepfer_a100]ROHS guideline / lead free production

2005-05-11 by Colin f

The EU directive to ban hazardous materials is not for the sake of the

It is because of the millions of tons of discarded equipment going into
land-fill sites each year.
Lead and other toxins are finding their way into the water table, and
potentially into human drinking water supplies.
