Gordon, I don't remember where I read it but long before RoHS, it was found that polycarbonate - when exposed to water for prolonged periods of time was found to release a brownish residue which testing revealed to be BPA - no mention of bromine or chlorine. My position is really pretty easy to live with. Keep harmful elements out of the food chain, and by the way, circuit board assemblies and many other useful and necessary technological innovations are not intended to be ingestible.

Ed, I'm with Steve. My reason for posting was to warn. Don't take the claims of activists at face value. Be suspicious of a hidden agenda, which is invariably to reduce your freedom, and follow the money.
