The method the EPA used to calculate the amount of lead in a CRT is
faulty.


It is the old bit about 80/20 - eighty percent of the project
takes up eighty percent of the budget, the other twenty percent takes
up the remaining eighty percent.



Umm, 80%+80%=160%

does it take to change a lightbulb.
