Maybe we should ask if you touch your wife then? ;-)

I think car batteries are actually the most recycled consumer item,
more than 99% are recycled. I agree most of the harmful lead came from
leaded petrol in cars, lead pipes, and paint. Solder seams in cans
poisoned a few people, but electronics solder was never a health
hazard for us.

However when I do see where our electronic junk ends up now, in Asia
and Africa, and how it is treated there, I suffer the leadfree solder
gladly, and quietly.
Until we get our act together and treat our waste properly the least
we can do is make it as non-toxic as possible.

Did you know there is statistical evidence that the phasing out of
leaded petrol and paint caused a subsequent drop in crime in the
following decades?
