RoHS restricts the amount of lead and other hazardous substances in
electronic and electromechanical products placed on the market in
Europe effective July 1, 2006.

While much media attention has focused on getting the lead (Pb) out of
electronic products, RoHS also restricts five other hazardous
substances, including mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium
(CR6/CR(VI)), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated
diphenyl ethers (PDBE).
