At 30th tonnes, the potential environmental impact of the lead in
solder, even if you *did* dump it all in the ground, is minuscule.


And, where do these pin-heads think the lead came from, in the first
place?


It came from deep within the ground, in the form of lead ore,
which I think is much less of a health hazard than metallic lead
decomposing in a landfill and seeping into the water supply.


Lead is an element, it is composed of lead and can't decompose. It is so
soluble that water pipes and roofs are made out of it......
