Abstract
This chapter contains discussion of the topics considered in previous chapters. The central questions in the debate about the ecological compatibility of Pb-free solders are given attention. Thirteen common arguments against Pb-free interconnection are penetrated. Special attention is given to the link between LCA and risk assessment from the perspective of leaching tests performed on solders and adhesives. Furthermore the concept of eco-materials is brought up and reflections are made for interconnection materials. Lastly follow there of embryos of broader theories, identified in connection to the present research, which likely will emerge.
