Granted, these things are toxic, and have been proven to be hazardous, but how much exposure are we risking and how much is too much? Washington outlawed lead wheel weights about a year ago, because some wizard submitted a "study" indicating that expelled wheel weights were poisoning salmon streams and habitat. Sorry, but I have been running along roads and highways here since 1992, and I have seen NUMEROUS aluminum cans and other trash, but barely a handful of expelled wheel weights.
/agreed!
My current unhappiness with the EPA is now the new requirment for wood burning stoves to meet EPA regs. REALLY??? Does the USA create sooooo much pollution via wood burning stoves that they must be regulated? Paint me VERY skeptical.
But now I would be on board to get rid of this:
