Greetings Wrenches,
  Just curious how concerned other wrenches are with lead in 
electrical tape,brass valves, fittings and even LED Christmas lights. 
Not sure if our stickers make it out of California but I've been 
noticing many products with the Prop 65 stickers and wonder why the 
lead is even in the product to begin with. It's fairly easy enough to 
find lead free electrical tape but sometimes find it difficult to 
find a brass thread to barb fitting for submersible pumps without 
lead in it. Am I over-reacting with my concern not to place a fitting 
known to have lead as the first thing out of the pump? Does the lead 
leach out from the brass and at how many PPM is it deemed safe? I've 
found some references online about it but not really anything 
explaining why it's present to begin with. I can understand it to be 
naturally occurring to some extent in brass somehow but how the hell 
does it make it into electrical tape and Xmas light wires?

Thanks for any insight,

Nick A Lucchese
