I believe that lead will be phased out by regulators as much as possible in the future.
Lead has a reputation of "hurting our environment" when lost in the soil and waterways.
It has been the catalyst for change in products like wheel weights, roofing nails and bullets.

Lead will always be needed and there are uses for it that will be hard to find a substitute for.
But I do think that regulators will eventually ban the use of lead in products that that can easily be lost to the environment.



Its the new mercury for the environmentalists.
