Jim - Re:"Gallium arsenide is extremely poisonous" Better throw away all your devices with LED displays. They happen to be made with GaAs , GaAlAs, and other variations of Gallium and Arsenide. More to the point - Arsenic has been used as a dopant for semiconductor fabrication for decades. Arsenic implantation is used for the n-dopant for all the n-channel devices in Intel CMOS devices. This is more or less a standard practice for all the semiconductor industry. The semiconductor equipment industry has developed, pretty much on their own, safety systems to make these operations reliable and certainly not life threatening. If they were dangerous, you would see the semiconductor body count statistics on the nightly news along with ValuJet and TWA casualty counts. For that matter, you may want to avoid air travel in the future. Better avoid automobile travel as well, just to be safe. If the federal government (e.g., the EPA) is brought in to police the semiconductor industry, sell your semiconductor stocks immediately. Paul
