Environmental benefits for foundries

1. Federalloy castings pass leachate standards for copper, lead and bismuth as defined by current NSF Regulations, Standard 61, Sections 8 and 9.

2. Paperwork requirements for OSHA and EPA lead programs are reduced and foreseeably eliminated for U.S. foundries.
   

3. The airborne lead over eight hour periods is less than ten (10) micrograms per cubic meter of air.
   

4. Blood lead programs can be phased out once air levels are under thirty (30) micrograms per cubic meter of air.
   

5. No respirators are required of employees working in environments that are below fifty (50) micrograms per cubic meter of air with a time weighted average of eight hours.
   

6. When melting Federalloy, the toxicity in molding sand from lead is less than one part per million. (EPA limit is five parts per million.) Sand therefore, is no longer classified as hazardous due to lead and thus can be disposed of at greatly reduced costs.
