Lead alloy solders in discarded circuit assemblies does NOT pose any
"troublesome" issues for the environment.

Fact: Metallic form lead solder alloys, or even raw metallic form Lead
does NOT pose a problem for water tables or land fills.

Aside from the polymer materials provided for in the "regulation", RoHS
is total bull****.
