Cadmium**
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating
layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system
and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that
batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or
electronics components must not contain any cadmium.
Mercury**
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the
nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement
states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that
mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components
associated with the labelled 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 sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down
ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing
increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased 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 nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead
poisoning. The relevant TCO'99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead
since no replacement has yet been developed.
*Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living
organisms.
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
