Re: Tinning of electronic component leads

The classic case of lead in water was the grandfather who exhibited
signs of lead poisoning when no one else in the family did. Turns out
he always drank a lot of water in the morning after it had been
standing in the pipes overnight.
Lead is also a documented cause of birth defects. All the items I buy
from that surplus place in California carry a warning.
In the '50s we used to play with asbestos mineral and mercury. Kids
would bring mercury to school and we'd coat coins with it. Do that now
and they'd have to shut the school down and decontaminate.
