A study by UC Irvine's Department of Population Health & Disease Prevention
has discovered that LED diodes contain unsafe levels of carcinogenic toxins.
While LED's less energy friendly cousin's, CFLs, contain a measured amount
of mercury, LEDs are laden with lead, arsenic and a handful of other
chemicals that have been linked to different cancers, neurological damage,
kidney disease, hypertension, skin rashes and other serious illnesses. Not
only are these chemicals harmful to consumers if the bulbs are mishandled or
broken, but extracting those toxins from the earth is a destructive process.

Leave it to Greenies to flux up a wet dream. sigh
I'll bet if you burn LEDs in a fire, they give off toxic smoke, too.
Let's give up on their use! The EPA will get right on it, I suppose.

Great quote: that's a new one to me (although I've read several of his
books).
