[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1006666, member: 52972"] Hey Todd Z. Does the woman have to lick her brake pads to ingest the copper? or is airborne particles of copper a problem? If it is airborne particles, many brake pads contain asbestos to which we know is dangerous to inhale airborne particles and that effects everyone The government has force the amount of asbestos in brake pads and linings, but I would think copper is a much lower risk since it only effect pregnant women and very early in their pregnancy....probably only in the first few days after inception. Update: I just read about California's mandatory reduction of copper in brake pads and linings and they claim that most of the copper found in the soil, water, etc is created by man, and they fear it will contaminate the water supply...There is no claim that copper is harmful to humans, plants or animals, and in fact all animals, plants and sea creature need copper to live. So it appears that California wants to reduce copper in the environment not for any environmental dangers, but simply because it's there and is predominately man made...Not dangerous or for any known health concerns? ...Rich [/QUOTE]
