Lead is used as a malleable flashing to waterproof buildings, and is used in solders, bullets, boat keels and many other uses.. Lead is also used to give crystal glass its high refractive index, and it helps make glass more ductile, so a TV CRT will have several pounds of lead in the glass. Lead is a poison, and causes mental retardation. It tastes sweet (lead acetate) and in New Zealand it caused high blood lead levels in the excessively curious alpine parrot, the Kea, which chews lead-head nails.

Some TVs, particularly older models, may contain lead in components like solder and glass. Lead is used for its durability and electrical properties, but it poses significant health risks, especially if the TV is broken or improperly disposed of, leading to potential lead exposure. Prolonged exposure to lead can cause serious health issues, including neurological damage, particularly in children. The use of lead in electronics is being phased out in many regions due to these health concerns.
What is soldering lead?
