Many Americans do not know what RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is. In short:

The RoHS Directive bans the placing on the European Market (EU) certain electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed upon levels of Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent Chromium, Polybrominated Biphenyl and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether, effective July 1st 2006.

RoHS

Many U.S. States are presently legislating for pollution reforms pursuant to RoHS; e.g.: beginning in 2007, California law will ban the sale of certain electronic devices that contain violating levels of Lead, Mercury, Cadmium and Hexavalent Chromium. Visit the State of California website: http://www.ca.gov/state/portal/myca_homepage.jsp A search there for "RoHS" will return several California State articles concerning pollution & hazardous waste matters.

Hazardous Substances and maximum levels thereof allowed under RoHS:

Lead (Pb) less than 1000 parts per million 0.1%
Mercury (Hg) less than 1000 parts per million 0.1%
Cadmium (Cd) less than 100 parts per million 0.01%
Hexavalent Chromium (CrVI) less than 1000 parts per million 0.1%
Polybrominated Biphenyl (PBB) less than 1000 parts per million 0.1%
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE) less than 1000 parts per million 0.1%

Clicking on the above named substances link to Toxicological Profile and Public Health Statements of each.

Lead, Mercury, Cadmium and Hexavalent Chromium are heavy metals.

Polybrominated Biphenyl and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether are flame retardants used in plastic.

It is every citizen's responsibility, individual and corporate, to curb pollution of the planet and further, to actively move toward eliminating it. The European Union is leading the charge globally while California seems to be leading the charge in the United States. Noble Fidelity, LLC is proud to participate globally in an ecologically responsible manner.

"I want Britain to be a leading player in this coming green industrial revolution."
— Rt Hon Tony Blair MP, Prime Minister UK
