TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the color-generating layers

of displa

y screens and the electrical or electronics components must

not contain any cadmium.

Mercury

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It

dam

ages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant

TCO'

99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury.

It also de

mands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or

electronics com

ponents associated with the labeled unit.

CFCs (freons)

The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs

may

be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product.

CFCs (freons) are someti

mes used for washing printed circuit boards.

CFCs break

down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the

stratosphere, causing increased receptio

n on earth of ultraviolet light

with e.g. inc

reased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a

consequence.

Lead

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and

capacitors. Lead damages the ner

vous system and in higher doses,

causes

lead poisoning. The relevant TCO´99 requirement permits the

inclusion of lead since no replacem

ent has yet been developed.

Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are

Bio-accumulative.
