Risk Description

The solders in the product have excessive concentrations of lead and cadmium (measured values: up to 80.3% and 0.25% by weight, respectively). Lead poses a risk to the environment.

These phthalates pose a risk to human health and the environment. SCCPs persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations and bio-accumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment.
