Part of my work involves using RF induced fields to remove those calcium
salts, but we do not allow the treatment of lead pipes. The hocus pocus of
water descaling but there is good science behind it; all to do with dipole
moments; and I'm afraid many cowboys. One of the problems with lead water
pipes was the lead leaches into the calcium salts, if you leave them their
the salts protect the consumer, if you remove them every one in the house
gets a good lead dose.
Re the other. Not sure whether Shakespeare should also be shot, but you get
the general idea. It's a shame the electronics industry was divided and each
group decided follow the ROHS directive, united we could have ignored it.
Too late now, though I do wonder whether the idiot OKO list is an
opportunity for the industry to ignore it.
Funnily enough I met with several electronics company owners in Italy a
couple of years back, their interpretation of RoHS was 'it is not for the
Italians, we will work with it for a couple of months and can then ignore
it' !
I don't what the answer is, but it gets me very frustrated.

Right you are Werner. My lead pipe was encrusted with insoluable lead salts
(from the hard water). Inside and outside as well from the water in the
ground. And all the chimney flashings here are lead sheet.

Hi Mark,
I did not mean top imply that Ag and its salts are toxic for humans, but to
bacteria. I would imagine one would like to ave bacteria at work in a
landfill.
That Romans got lead poisening from lead water pipes is an urban myth. I saw
the water papes in Pompeii-totally encrusted almost to occlusion be
deposits. The Pb-poisening happened to the roman upper-crust, because of
drinking highly acidic wine [much ore so than today's wines] from
Pb-containing vessels.
