As I remember, the Scandinavians (Sweden, I believe) first banned
the use of Cadmium in products because the Cadmuim would leach out in
landfills and contaminate the groundwater... this was a large concern to
equipment manufacturers who used Cad plated hardware... There was pressure
to make this a European requirement, but I'm not sure where that has lead
(no Pb pun intended)...
Perhaps someone has later information to flesh this out...
