There is some interesting research going on now at the Univ of Tennessee sponsored by USEPA's Design for the Environment program that is evaluating the comparative life cycle environmental concerns between CRT monitors and flat panels. Lead is clearly the main issue with CRTs, but the flat panels are made from a semiconductor like process that uses many highly toxic chemicals and also uses more energy throughout the life cycle. Final results have not yet been published, but if anyone wants more info, let me know and I'll get it to you. Ted Smith Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition [e-mail]
