exception. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the
back light system of flat panel monitors as there today is
no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on
removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is
available.
Lead**
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens,
solders and capacitors. TCO'99 permits the use of lead
due to the lack of commercially available alternatives, but
in future requirements TCO Development aims at
restricting the use of lead.

Information for Environmental Preservation
LGE. announced the 'LG Declaration for a Cleaner
Environment' in 1994, and this ideal has served as a
guiding managerial principle ever since. The Declaration is
a foundation that has allowed us to undertake
environmentally friendly activities in careful consideration
of economic, environmental, and social aspects.
We promote activities for environmental preservation, and
we specifically develop our products to embrace the
concept of environment-friendly.
We minimize the hazardous materials contained in our
products. For example, there is no cadmium to be found in
our monitors.
Information for recycling
This monitor may contain parts which could be hazardous
to the environment. It is important that this monitor be
recycled after use.
