Late Breaking News HP and Apple's toxic laptops exposed18 September 2006 Some of the best-known laptops are contaminated with some of theworst toxic chemicals. Of the five top brands we tested Hewlett-Packard and Apple laptops showed the worst contamination levels. An independent Danish laboratory tested for the presence of severaltoxic chemicals, including brominated flame retardants (BFRs),polyvinyl chloride plastic (PVC), and even lead, in brand new laptopsfrom five of the world's leading manufacturers (Acer, Apple, Dell, HP,Sony). HP and Apple laptops contained the highest levels ofcontamination. We have been pressuring leading electronic companies to ditch toxicchemicals in favour of safer alternatives. The laptop tests reveal ifthe top companies are matching nice green words with real action.© 2006 SBGi Corporation All Rights Reserved Page 32 of 31
Late Breaking News Chemical lies? Results for HP revealed high levels of a number of chemicals inits components, in particular the highest levels by far of PBDEs(a class of Brominated Fire Retardants) including somethingcalled decaBDE. HP's website claims it removed decaBDE fromits products years ago. Either HP is lying or HP needs to ask its suppliers some toughquestions. Lead was also found in the soldering. HP has been downgraded due to these results on our Guide toGreener Electronics. The guide ranks PC and mobilecompanies on their chemical and waste policies and practices.HP was third but has slipped to sixth position, with 4.7 out of 10,down from 5.7.© 2006 SBGi Corporation All Rights Reserved Page 33 of 31
