<p>[QUOTE=&quot;User 67, post: 18281, member: 67&quot;]I worked in a circuit board factory for a short time. They flagrantly ignored regulations and the place was caustic. They were shut down shortly after I quit. Anyway, they used mercury somewhere in the process which was one of many health concerns that employees were concerned about. As I remember someone told me it was the tabs (at the end that &quot;plug in&quot; used to make the electric connection), because the mercury process was a way to create the type of conduction they wanted. I am unsure how much of the mercury was still in the product after it went through the acid baths.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, lest anyone forget, they used to use mercury in the amalgams used in dental work for teeth filling.</p><p><br /></p><p>My point is that it is naive to believe mercury at any level doesn&#039;t pose a threat and that it is equally skeptical and a bit nutty to suspect, that because a product is labeled mercury free, that it is somehow a marketing ploy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would also like to point out the fabled Ancient Roman citizen who was laughed out of the Forum for suggesting that the lead water pipes were making people sick.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
