-There is a lot of talk about LED technology. It is beginning to infiltrate
-industry at a fast rate, and it’s a challenge for designers and also engineers.
-I wondered when a weakness will be revealed. Then I stomped on an article
-talking about harm in using LED technology. It looks like this magical
-technology is not so magical and eco-friendly.
-
-A new study from the University of California indicates that LED lights contain
-toxic metals, and should be produced, used and disposed of carefully.  Besides
-the lead and nickel, the bulbs and their associated parts were also found to
-contain arsenic, copper, and other metals that have been linked to different
-cancers, neurological damage, kidney disease, hypertension, skin rashes and
-other illnesses in humans, and to ecological damage in waterways.
-
-Since then, I haven’t yet found any regulation for disposal of LED lights or any
-other regulation or standard. This might be a problem in the future. And it is a
-massive drawback. This might have quite an impact on consumer market.
-
-Nevertheless, there is a potential, and I am sure the market will adapt. I also
-hope I will be reading documents regarding solution for this concern soon.
