This is blatant speculation on my part but i wonder if they got arsenic confused with chromium. I was doing some research about on the job hazards and ran across something about the little SMD's that have two legs on one side and one on the other. Supposedly, one state EPA was raising this as an issue. If the electronics are stored outdoors and the boards degrade then chromium could be released into the soil.

I suppose it would be a similar hazard if you were running the boards through a shredder but the dust would be airborne. ?
