A Struggle With Lead Weights For Tire Balancing

The struggle for the environmental safety is becoming stronger year by year, month by month and even day by day. For example, in California, green activists have recently launched an initiative to ban the use of all the lead weights, so usual for rim balancing.
It turns out that only in California cars leave about 225 000 kg of lead on the road in a year, that turns into a dust that can pollute the water, which is used in homes and businesses. However, lead is known to be toxic and can cause damage to the brain and central nervous system of a man. Particularly, child’s body is vulnerable to the harmful effect of lead.
In 2008, Chrysler and the three leading American producers of goods for the wheels had agreed to refuse from the production and circulation of this type of weights in the state. Activists, however, are trying to achieve a total ban of such goods. At the moment, their efforts have already led to some changes. Manufacturing companies have agreed to reduce production of lead weights, though not completely abandon them.
Making new goods out of other materials, of course, will cause additional wastes. On the other hand, the second cup of weights human life and health are lying. What outweighs is obvious without much reasoning. Moreover, according to the calculations of experts, additional value is quite low.
