Whats Wrong With Halogens?
Halogens might not sound that bad because we’re familiar with the word (all those lamps), but the Halogen family includes fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. “Halogens are highly reactive, and as such can be harmful or lethal to biological organisms in sufficient quantities.” Now, we’re not saying that your CPU is dangerous to you (don’t try too eat it, though), but over the manufacturing of millions of them, it adds up to a lot of halogens. Removing them will no doubt make electronics recycling safer.
