Thanks a lot.

My brother once asked me what Hazmat meant. That one I knew.

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).
