generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages

the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not

contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches, Mercury

damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any Mercury.

It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or

electronics components associated with the display unit.

CFCs (freons)

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards.

CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the

stratosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of ultraviolet light

with consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).

The relevant TCO’99 requirement; Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be

used during the manufacturing and assembly of the product or its

packaging.
